First off , I require to make it clear that I ’m not complain . It ’s the center of October in my Denver , Colo. , vegetable garden and there are still tomatoes ripen every day .

In all of my year gardening here , I ca n’t recall another garden time of year like this one . Usually the weather twist wintry in September , and I ’m crazily picking green tomatoes before that first frost hit .

But this twelvemonth , the weather has remain warm enough to keep the tomato plants going strong .

I ’ve used tomatoes in just about every recipe , put up dry quart of tomatoes to use this winter and eaten handfuls of cherry Lycopersicon esculentum at almost every repast .

With about a poop of a bushel of love apple begging to be used , I decided to make some homemade tomato sauce . I mixed together all ofthe unlike form of tomatoesI grew this summer , from self-aggrandizing orange one to small grape - sized , and end up with a couple of quarts of the best love apple sauce on the major planet .

It ’s a simple process , but it does take a piddling bit of clock time , especially if the only thing you have on bridge player is an old - fashioned strainer . A solid food mill would be a big timesaver .

practice the sauce as you would any commercial tomato sauce , but everything you make with it is sure to taste better .
