Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
- 3 pounds fresh tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
Method
In a cup, combine garlic and vinegar; set aside.
Remove stem end of each tomato.
Cut tomatoes in half and use your fingers to scrape the seeds into a bowl. Set seeds aside.
Place half the tomatoes in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not liquefied.
Transfer to a large bowl.
Add remaining tomatoes and honey, oregano, and garlic and vinegar mixture to the food processor and repeat.
Stir into the sauce in the bowl. If the sauce seems too thick, strain the reserved seed mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and use some of the tomato liquid to thin the sauce. The sauce will keep refrigerated for a few days.
