Crockpot Garden Fresh Tomato Sauce recipe post-vegan

[Guest guest]

Once in a great while I will have a bag of vine ripe tomatoes tossed my way and

this makes a perfect sauce with them. I just love making dishes in the

crockpot. This freezes well in ziploc freezer bags you can date. I will pull

one out and put in the fridge before I go to work and then all I have to do is

boil up pasta and warm the sauce for a fast dinner.

1 Tblspn. olive oil

4 large cloves of garlic, minced

2 tsp. dried basil

1/4 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/2 tsp. sugar (cuts down on the acid)

1 Tblspn. balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

 

In crockpot mix together the tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, onion, olive oil,

garlic, dried basil, oregano, salt and pepper.

Cover and cook on low setting about 4 to 4 1/2 hrs.

Stir in the sugar, vinegar and fresh basil. Increase the heat setting to high

and cook uncovered for 1/2 hour to thicken the sauce slightly.

NOTE* You can add sauteed mushrooms in at the end or even some Tofurky or Boca

sausages
