By the end of the summer I usually end up with more baby tomatoes than I can manage to eat so this preserve brings a bit of the garden flavour for the long winter evenings.

This is as basic and sublime as Italian cooking gets. My daughter requests this all the time. In the winter, she would ask for this and I would say, we need to wait for summer tomatoes. Yet, I have made it with store fresh roma tomatoes in winter and it is a nice reminder of summer.

Tomatoes are packed with umami. Canned tomatoes are picked when they are at their best and ripest. You can stock them year-round, and you don't need a cutting board and knives either. You don't even have to measure it out. I thought there's nothing as convenient as this, and so I created this recipe.Simmer until the volume is reduced to about 60%. If you want to keep the jam for a long time, add extra sugar. As you simmer and reduce the tomatoes, they will sink to the bottom of the pot. It burns easily, so near the end of the simmering process keep on stirring up the pot from the bottom. Recipe by Pabuchan

All-purpose, basic tomato sauce is not just limited to italian dishes - it's adaptable in many ways, so please try this out.If sterilizing jars is too much work, you can freeze the sauce in ziplock bags. The reason why I used different size jars is that I use different amounts when use the tomato sauce for making pizza sauce vs. making pasta sauce. I haven't added any spices or herbs, and just a minimal amount of salt, so that the sauce can stay flexible enough to be used in various recipes. Recipe by Ulisse

I always make jam from plum-type fruits using the whole fruit, including the peel, since I love the texture of the peel. I tried making tomato jam in the same way, and it was delicious.Enjoy the peel and seeds too.You can make a nutrient-packed jam in no time.If you prefer it to be less sweet, reduce the sugar by 30 to 35%.

Lots of herbs and seasonings make it so delicious that my family prefers this over anything store bought.You can use whatever onion you have on hand. Sometimes I like using a sweet onion, other times I mix in some red, so go with whatever’s available and what you like.As always, use recipes as a guideline and feel free adjust the spices to suit your preferences. For example, add more red pepper flakes to add some heat, or more sugar to make it sweeter.

I asked my mother-in-law for her tomato sauce recipe only to find out that she doesn't really have one. I watched her make the sauce and saw that she doesn't use meauring cups or spoons. So I made notes as best I could, but it never tastes quite the same. My husband likes the sauce, so I guess it gets a pass! You can also make meat sauce by adding 0.5 kg cooked lean ground beef.
