For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. Roma or San Marzano tomatoes are excellent choices. To easily peel tomatoes, score an 'X' on the bottom of each tomato, then blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. The skins should slip off easily. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can substitute with two 28-ounce cans of crushed tomatoes. Reduce the simmering time accordingly. This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Jun 14, 2024I used canned tomatoes because I didn't have fresh ones on hand, and it still turned out amazing! I can't wait to try it with fresh tomatoes next summer.
