well you can buy a large can of peeled whole plum tomatoes for $1.00 or a can of san marzano plum tomatoes for $3.00.
or you can just grow san marzano tomatoes in your back yard. |

Yes Ginger!! She yelled at me as I was looking over her shoulder last summer!! lol
We made strictly Shannon's sauce from ONLY Shannon's. Never made it from just one variety of tomato. It was excellent!! Our fav of the year. Would certainly try that with another like CP or something like that. Greg |

As controversial as it is, I'd love to try that SunGold pasta sauce recipe I saw on the internet some years ago. Apparently, the secret is not to cook too long... Too bad, I'm not going to have any SunGolds this eyar (too many other varieties to try), but, I love any yellow and black ones cooked.

Maybe pick up a pint from the local market if they have them this summer? |

We don't have such tomatoes on our local markets
![]() The only way to get anything interesting in that department is to grow it at home (which I gladly do..) As I try to keep my balcony garden limited to 15 varieties, it is a tough choice ... what to include, what to leave out. |

This was one of my first questions to the forum? The answer I got mostly was to try heart tomatoes...big, productive, meaty, tasty.
Best success I've had was from Kosovo, and Terhune when the weather was good or bad. Cuneo Pear, Franchi Pear and Perito Italian do really well in hot weather. But I do throw in some Blacks (love the taste) even if they are beefsteak. Just have to boil them longer. |

We did 100 quarts of spaghetti sauce last year with Brandywine Sudduth's, you have to cook it down for many hours, but it is very tasty, lots of zip. Will probably do the same thing again.

I've got some plums that I'll be reducing down along with some hearts, and some San Marzano varieties (super, redorta, nano, 3) specifically for tomato sauce. We'll see how it tastes.
The tutti-frutti tomato sauce I make throughout the season from all the rejects gets frozen down and much like Ted said, helps me during the months I don't have fresh tomatoes. Although for me it's more like a few weeks. Shannon did not like my offerings and was stingy, so she was shown the door. The luxury abode has been offered to Larisa, Anna Maria and Aunt Ginny and... I can't find any other female names on my list. I don't think I'll even get remotely close to AkMark's Sudduth's sauce, but judging by the way these Cowlick's are growing, perhaps I'll approach the 25 quart mark. |
