Okay, maybe a silly question, but I am looking for recipes for tomato sauce. Not pasta sauce, not spaghetti sauce, but the stuff that comes in the little 8oz cans that's basically just tomatoes and salt! We use a ton of it in different recipes and I'd love to be able to make my own, but when I try to look it up I only get recipes for pasta sauce!!
I'm sure it's not that hard, but I know the texture has to be just right (to a certain extent) for it to work in other recipes. Has anyone made their own tomato sauce/have any tried and true recipes? Please share your wisdom ๐
Edit: This stuff below, different from tomato paste, but very similar!
This is basically how we do it. In my area, the tomatos you talk about are called Plum tomatoes.
We had growing up this cool machine that clamped to the table, you'd place the blanched tomatoes in the top and push them down into a grinder well. Out on end came all the seeds and skins, and out the grater came the sauce into a bowl. You then cook the sauce down to your desired thickness, and there you have it.
Not having the machine requires a bit more effort, but your spot on with your method here for the initial question.
