Tomato sauce/ paste with whole tomatoes?
« on: November 03, 2010, 01:13:03 am »
Want to try making a tomato sauce for cooking, have some "cooking" tomatoes, but feel that to discard the skins and seeds means discarding most of the tomato & goodness, and a waste!
I can see some people have made sauces using whole tomatoes.
So I guess my options are to use them whole & blitz well, use whole and strain, or peel but keep the seeds in. Leaning towards the last option
Anyone got any advice/ experience?
TIA
Deb

If it was me I would just blitz them well. But I'm lazy and don't make a lot of sauces.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
