Jeri,

Check with bobad. He might know a way to lower the acidity of the tomatoes.

EXTREMELY QUICK TOMATO SAUCE; Ingredients: Extra virgin olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, peeled, and halved, 2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 sprig fresh rosemary, 1 28oz can peeled San Marzano style tomatoes (whole), 1/2 pound ground pork, 1/2 pound ground beef, salt and pepper to taste.

Directions: Film the bottom of a skillet with the olive oil and add the garlic and herbs, beef and pork. Cook until garlic just starts to color, but doesn't brown and the meat is brown (it likely will be necessary to remove the garlic before the meat browns, but reserve them). Mash the tomatoes and add them and a large pinch of salt to the skillet. Add the reserved garlic, bring the contents to a brisk simmer and cook until just thick. Give the sauce a good grinding of pepper and taste for salt. Fish out the garlic and herbs before serving over pasta.
Makes about 2 cups.

Tomatoes on Toast is lovely.

Slice fresh tomatoes and grill them. Place them on well buttered toast and serve. Loverly.

Tomato Sauce.

Can be used as a pasta sauce, as a pizza base, on a hamburger...

Drain two cans of good, whole, Italian plum tomatoes of their juices.
Slowly heat two tbsp of good extra virgin olive oil.

Add one or two finely chopped garlic cloves and cook until just starting to brown (you're doing this to flavour the oil).

Add the drained tomatoes, a little salt and black pepper, and cook slowly for about half-an-hour, prodding them every now and then until they're broken down and reduced to the required consistency.

Adjust the seasoning.

Add torn, fresh basil.

Apologies. The final 'garlic cloves' was a superfluous aberration. Don't add extra garlic!

M J- unless you like extra garlic- I do.
Looking over this thread again, I have restocked on canned tomatoes; stores I shop at often have them on sale for less than a dollar for a 28-oz can.
Good in many stews- replace much of the water requirement.

I'm still working my way through my canned tomatoes. I can manage to use two or three cans or frozen containers a week, so by the time canning season rolls around I'll have plenty of empty jars for this year's canning.

I'm planning to use a few more green tomatoes this year, and not wait until the very end of the season when they all come in before the first freeze.

Nice to grow your own- difficult in foothills Alberta because it can drop to freezing any month.
The Italian ovals in the cans are pretty good, though.

Although it's fattier than beef bolognaise for flavour I like lamb mince more with the garlic, herbs and canned plum tomatoes, I do try to strain off as much of the fat as I can. Lamb leftover from Sunday can make a finer mince and it goes well with grated carrot. I find that I don't mind the acidity of the tomatoes with lamb so much.
