I'm hoping to make loads of jars this summer (hence the 50 tomato plants!) because we so enjoyed eating it through the winter.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430236104525571846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-49315020896667632392010-08-03T17:43:09.809+01:002010-08-03T17:43:09.809+01:00roasted garlic, pesto, sun dried tomatoes, olive o...roasted garlic, pesto, sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, hard cheese ... these are a few of my favorite things!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619199535376925989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-48610143590571735532010-08-03T14:52:46.440+01:002010-08-03T14:52:46.440+01:00The recipe is simply the ingredients listed above,...The recipe is simply the ingredients listed above, tomatoes, onions, garlic, dried chilli flakes (all to suit your own taste),simply put into a large roasting tin drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil sprinkle with a handful of basil leaves (and a bit of Rosemary works well too) and then left to roast slowly in a medium oven until everything is soft and yummy. Add another handful of Basil leaves right at the end of cooking to wilt in the heat of the tin.<br /><br />Don't bother peeling the tomatoes or messing too much with the garlic it will all go lovely and mushy.<br /><br />When its cooked you can bottle it as it is, or if you want a smoother sauce, whizz in a food processor or with a stick blender. If you want it perfectly smooth, simply pass it through a sieve. But I must say it's wonderful just all chunky straight from the oven.<br /><br />If you bottle it in sterilised jars (I simply put mine in the bottom oven of the Aga for about 10 mins to do this) and put the tops on whilst both the sauce and the jars are hot, the tops will depress and form a vacuum, then it should keep indefinitely. We are still eating some from this time last year and it's perfect. <br /><br />I hope this helps, sorry if it's not specific enough but I tend to be a bit of a throw it all in cook now!<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-36774848462275641302010-08-03T14:21:39.616+01:002010-08-03T14:21:39.616+01:00mm sounds delicious Sue!
