RINSE THE TOMATOES FIRST.
SCORE THE BOTTOM OF EACH ONE - THIS WILL MAKE THEM EASY TO PEEL.
Blanch them in boiling water for 30 to 45 seconds.
This will loosen the skin so they're easy to peel.
When they are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins.
Squish them in a large pot and simmer them for two hours or until they break down.
You can leave the sauce chunky or puree it for a smooth pomodoro sauce.
Towards the end of the cooking time add the sugar and salt. You can adjust to your taste!
There is just a touch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
Serve this homemade pomodoro sauce with penne pasta for a delicious meal full of fresh flavors.
