I got the jist of this from Alton Brown's show.
His...
20 Sm Roma or Plum tomatoes, cut lengthwise and seeded 2 GLASS 9x13 pans
Place tomatoes cut side up in the pans and spritz with olive oil.
In this order sprinkle on...
1 TBSP fresh (2 tsp dry) Oregano 1 TBSP fresh (2 tsp dry) Thyme 1/2 tsp salt pepper 2 tsp finely minced garlic 1 Cup finely diced onion
Bake at 325 for 2 hours Bake at 400 for 30 minutes Grind in a mill or food processor and eat now OR
add 1 Cup white wine or Vodka, bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes
Mine...
Halve all your tomatoes and squeeze them briefly over your sink. (Make sure you have a strainer in there or some drain cleaner handy) Cram as many as will fit into every Glass casserole dish you have, lining them with parchment paper first.
Sprinkle with oil and rub it around.
Put a boat load of Italian Seasoning over all of it.
Sprinkle generously with salt and a bit of pepper.
Smear it all with minced garlic from a jar.
Cut a bunch of onions and sprinkle them on top until it looks like enough (about 4 medium), freezing the rest for later use.
Bake at 325 for two hours and grind it in the food processor (in batches 'cause it won't all fit with out making a HUGE mess...) and add to a large mixing bowl. Stir in booze, add to sterile jars and water bathe for 45 minutes.

Thanks for sharing, BigM! I've yet to try making sauce from tomatoes that didn't come out pink and watery. Now I wish I'd planted Roma tomatoes! (My sauce attempts usually sucked, so that's why I didn't!) I'd be willing to buy them for this, though.

I didn't have roma or plums either. Squeezing them probably kept the "watery" to a minimum.

And no peeling! That's awesome. I hate peeling!
