Note

For best results, use ripe, fresh tomatoes if available. If using canned tomatoes, ensure they are peeled and whole or crushed varieties for a smoother texture.

This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.

If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend it briefly with an immersion blender after simmering.
