The Tasteful Garden

 Fresh Sicilian Tomato Sauce 

1/4 cup Olive oil
2 medium Onions (chopped)                                             9 cups Tomatoes (very ripe - cored & chopped)
2- 28 oz cans Diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 Green pepper
6 cloves Garlic (crushed)                         1/4cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
1/2 cup Dry white wine
1 cup Chicken broth
1 Tsp. Basil (dried)
1 Tsp. Rosemary
2 Tsp. Sugar
Salt & black pepper to taste

 

Heat oil in an 8 to 10 quart heavy-bottom pot. Sauté onion and garlic until tender. Add all remaining ingredients except salt & pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook gently, uncovered, for four hours. Stir often. Taste, and add salt & pepper as desired. Yield: about 4 quarts

I make big batches of this at the end of season and store in freezer bags for use all winter long. Great for lasagna, spaghetti, chili, etc.
