Slow Cooked Tomato Sauce

We do - actually - eat more than dessert here!   I will admit that dessert gets a lot of attention - pretty much equal to the main course.... sort of..... maybe.......

Anyways - the tomato plants are churning out fresh tomatoes pretty regularly and I needed a way to use some up and get them off the table.  Tomato sauce made in the slow cooker seemed like a great idea.

Tomatoes and green peppers - fresh off the vine that morning!   

The onions and carrots came from the big box market - our (sort of) "green thumb" couldn't pull these off this year.   They are still in the ground - setting there, waiting, doing nothing - their days are numbered....








The basil's been in the fridge for a few days.   While it looks a little worse for the wear - it was awesome and the smell filled the kitchen.... ahhh!





A glass of wine, some rotisserie chicken and a piece of bread.....  the only thing missing is dessert!

  1. We used to grow tomatoes, but there were always so few I'm sure we could never gather enough for sauce. Plus, ours were always so sour! We've totally given up on the gardening now..haha.
