Quick, Easy Tomato Sauce Tip!

I didn't plan to make a video today, but since I am in the midst of making up my last batch of tomato sauce for the year, I just thought I'd just throw this quick tip about how to easily make homemade sauce. Sure, I've made sauce the old-fashioned way before, but it can be quite time consuming, so this is how I always make my sauce now. I've been doing it this way for the past few years and it's just SUCH a time saver and super easy. (I didn't show the whole process in this quick clip, but you really don't need to see all that anyway. I'm sure you will understand it well enough from just this clip, but if you do have any questions, just ask!) I literally just chop tomatoes into chunks and put them in the crock pot along with garlic and basil and cook it all down for a few hours(till the tomatoes are nice and soft), then I turn off the CrockPot and use my hand blender to smoosh it all up into a nice saucy texture (be very careful w/the hand blender though - so you don't scratch up your CrockPot or spray tomato sauce everywhere!). Then, just strain it through a fine mesh sieve (just like I show in this video) and voila! You've got some very easy-to-make tomato sauce. (I freeze mine in dinner-size amounts & it works great!)
