Method

1

Blend or grind the tomatoes however you like. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2

Strain through a sieve to remove about 1 liter of tomato juice. Save that juice for risotto, tomato soups, stuffed peppers, and the like.

3

Blend the thick paste until smooth (skip this if it's already the right texture from your first pass—I ground mine, so I needed this step to fix the consistency).

4

Stir in salt, sugar, sweet paprika, chili pepper, vegetable oil, and garlic. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring.

5

Add the chopped basil, mix it in, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring now and then. Keep going longer if you want it thicker.

6

Spoon into sterilized jars, seal with sterilized lids. Flip the jars upside down, wrap them up, and let them cool completely.
