Ingredients

    3 lbs plum tomatoes, cored, frozen and thawed
    ½ medium red onion, diced
    2 cloves garlic
    ½ tbsp olive oil
    1 bay leaf
    2 tbsp minced fresh basil
    1 tbsp minced fresh lemon balm
    ½ tsp dried oregano
    ½ tsp fresh thyme leaves
    Pinch ancho chili pepper
    ½ tsp sugar
    1 tsp salt (I used Cabernet Salt)
    ½ tsp citric acid

Tips

this also freezes well


Directions

Drain the thawed tomatoes and pass them through a food mill.
In a large pot, cook onions and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat until the onion softens, 5-10 minutes.
Add tomato puree and all the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for about 30 minutes, uncovered. Remove bay leaf.
Process with an immersion blender until smooth.
Return to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until sauce is thick (reduced by at least ⅓), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Process for 35 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
