3 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil OR 2 teaspoons dried
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
canola oil cooking spray
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Core tomatoes and cut an "X" on the bottom side with a paring knife. Place tomatoes in boiling water for 1-2 minutes to loosen skin.
Remove to a bowl of cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Peel tomatoes, cut in half and squeeze each over a bowl to remove seeds. Discard the seeds.
In batches, place tomatoes in a blender or food processor and puree.
Spray a large saucepan once with cooling spray and place over low heat. Add chopped garlic to the pan and dired basil if using, and cook for 1 minute. Add pureed tomatoes and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add fresh basil and salt when sauce has finished cooking.
If there is too much to use immediately, prepare jars and can to save and use when you are craving a taste of sunshine.
