Tomato Puree (for freezing)
Mash, and quarter 8 pounds of unpeeled tomatoes.
Chop: 4 green peppers, 6 stalks of celery, and 2 onions
Add these to the tomatoes
Add: 2 cloves garlic, minced; and 1 tsp. oregano
Simmer all together for a full hour, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching. Do not add any water.
After an hour's cooking, put the tomatoes through a Foley Food Mill or colander, to remove skins, etc. Put pulp into top of double boiler. Cook until this is reduced to the consistency of a medium white sauce. You may even cook it longer and concentrate it still more.
Stir in 2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper.
