Roasted Tomato Sauce

4 lbs tomatoes - stem and quarter
1 lg Red onion (or 2-3 small) yellow whatever you have
2 Jalapeno peppers - seeds removed (I usually leave one with seeds)
16 cloves of garlic
1/4 C Extra Virgin Olive oil
1 Tbs dry oregano
2 cubenelle peppers (added by art)
1tsp sugar (added by art)

Roast @ 450F for 1.5 hours or longer until juices are getting thick and tomatoes are charring

-you will know! Let cool and run through a food mill. Taste and season with salt and pepper & 1/2cup chopped fresh basil for our garden


Edited to change baking time

Cooked in the large turkey roaster pan.

Four times the recipe cooked 2.25 hrs

severed 6 cups over 2lbs of Ziti

Roma tomatoes

Cubanelle ,Jalapeno peppers from organic farmer at Detroit's Eastern Market.
