First, I washed and then cut all my tomatoes in half. I spread them out on a cookie sheet. Drizzled olive oil, salt, and pepper over them. I added cut up onions and lots of garlic. I then topped it with fresh basil. I placed it in the oven at 250 degrees for 2 hours.
Here it is on the stove and almost all ready to preserve!
On a side note. I posted on my Facebook page that my first batch of tomato sauce tasted really bitter and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. I have since discovered thanks to my husbands research that you should not cook tomatoes (or any acidic foods) in aluminum pans because it can lead to a metallic, bitter flavor.
