Ingredients
Instructions
Wash tomatoes, remove stems, and cut them into ½-inch chunks. They do not need to be precisely the same size, but they should be around the same size.
Add chopped tomatoes to a Dutch oven or stock pot. Place over medium-low heat with the lid on. Allow the tomatoes to come to a simmer and turn the heat to low. Add the basil, if desired.
Simmer for 45-60 minutes, on low, with the lid on, stirring occasionally. After a nice sauce has formed, crush the tomatoes with a potato masher. (To achieve a smoother sauce without the texture from the skin, use an immersion blender to puree it until completely smooth). If you prefer a concentrated sauce, simmer with the lid off for another 10-20 minutes or until the desired flavor is reached.
Allow to cool for 1 hour and store in mason jar or freezer-safe containers.
