I agree with the roasted bit - definitely gives a deeper, richer flavour

Mine is take a load of halved tomatoes,place in an oven tray  with garlic cloves in their skins, splosh on some olive oil,sprinkle on some black pepper & roast til soft. Blend it all together,sieve all the bits out,Add balsamic vinegar, a sprinkle of sugar,salt, throw in some basil & re blend,re heat with a stock cube & water if you need a larger quantity or miss out if not. To die for.

That sounds lovely Snowdrops! Do you skin the garlic cloves before you blend it?

No they get sieved out,so it saves time

Yay! Just what I like and no need to watch the pot!  You can only use so much pasta sauce (18 pints and counting so far)!
