Recipe #67... Fresh Tomato Sauce... Summertime or anytime

Note: It's getting to be that time of year...  Yes, Christmas in July does mean red and green... and purple and yellow... tomatoes are here!  When you're bursting at the seam with fresh tomatoes, and you aren't sure that another tomato-cucumber or caprese salad will receive the high praise it got the first 10 times you served it, blenderize your bushel boys and see how fresh tomato sauce goes... or maybe if you're feelin' frisky - bloody mary's ...

Fresh Tomato Sauce
Add the following to your mixer of choice...
Makes enough for 2, 12" pizzas and extra for sauce

10 fresh tomatoes or 28 oz can of whole tomatoes 
2 carrots
4 large basil leaves (fresh)
1/4 white onion
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 cloves of garlic
Savory herbs (thyme, oregano, etc)
2 anchovies (optional)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Salt and pepper to your liking... This sauce makes a wonderful pizza topper that is fun for all to construct!  Even Bernard the dog benefitted from this cooking adventure... and so did the person who mops in our house... more shredded cheese please... -A
