Because I am constantly looking for a fantastic bread pudding recipe, I developed this one. This is one of my favorite recipes because I sell cookware and enjoy cooking.

Ingredients
- 8 large tomatoes, cored
- 1 small sweet onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 4 leaves chopped fresh basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut an “x” in the bottom of each tomato. Fill a large mixing bowl with ice water.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes to the boiling water until skins start to curl, about 30 seconds. Remove tomatoes from the boiling water and submerge in the bowl of ice water until cool enough to handle, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove tomatoes from the ice water; peel off and discard skins. Transfer skinned tomatoes to a blender and blend until liquefied. Pour into a medium saucepan; add onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium heat until sauce reduces to desired consistency, 60 to 90 minutes.
- Purée sauce with an immersion blender until smooth. Use sauce immediately, or store in the refrigerator overnight to allow flavors to develop.
- You can substitute 4 teaspoons dried basil for the fresh basil if desired.

Omg this recipe was so simple and is amazing!!! My family loves it!!!
Easy and tasty. I used tomatoes I had frozen. Didn’t use onions.
Super easy and tasty. I blended the onion and garlic along with the tomatoes. I like my pizza sauce thick, so I let it simmer for about an hour.
This is perfect for making big batches from the garden tomato haul. I added fennel and some tomato paste to thicken it up. I freeze in 2 cup servings. Delish!
Wonderful sauce! I added more fresh basil. I did one batch on the stove and one in crockpot.
