@cf593c09 it's such a core ingredient to so much Italian cooking! But most folks just use tinned tomatoes, blasted with a stick blender if sauce consistency is needed - which works just fine! We do buy a fair bit of supermarket passata, but our crop/processing this year will hopefully get us through a few months without having to give that money to them. 

 @88f809c5 Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm in the #gardening and preserving the harvest. And cooking things. This is how we enjoy the flavors of the world from home. #Minnesota.
