Need a little help making pasta sauce

madddawg · August 2, 2014

I have lots, probably close to 80 LBS of small, disfigured or damaged tomatoes that I need to process cause people just wont by them, even at a discount.
Last weekend I made 20 pints of Salsa Useing Mrs Wages Seasoning ( I dont have time to cut up veggies when doing this much by myself) And I draind if 10 Quarts worth of juice. Last nite I heated that up and reduced it down to a little less then half that And its still kinda runny.
While that was reducing I washed and cut up about 60 LBS worth intending on grinding them But something came up and I had to put them in the fridge. Might of been a bad thing but I had no choice.
I have something similar to this http://www.amazon.com/Victorio-VKP25...mato+processor.

I still got at least 20 more lbs to wash and cut up. I will take that later today or tomorrow.

Anyway I guess my question is, should I make salsa and strain out some of the juice like I did last weekend and try making Sauce with that,or just pitch it because all the "meat of the mater"s went to salsa .

Or Make A lot of Pasta sauce with everything I got?

Also Some kinda pasta sauce recipe would be nice..By the Gallon!

Thanks!
