Who doesn’t love fresh homemade tomato sauce? Obviously there are many variations. This one I took from a good friend of mine and it comes with a new twist. I stick to the basics in the beginning but add a little something in the end. A couple of key take a ways here. First, I take out the skins but not the seeds. You don’t have to peel them but I prefer without for the texture. As to the seeds… many will tell you that the seeds need to go as it makes the sauce bitter. I have not found that. In fact, I think it adds depth. Also, make sure you add the fresh herbs at the end. If you don’t it will get washed out. OK, the secret is tarragon! I had never heard of this before but I have to say I absolutely love it. Easy to make and freezes well. Hope you enjoy. Thank you Vince!
