Fresh Tomato Sauce

CJ came home with a box filled with tomatoes. We gave a few away to my inlaws and I didn't know what to do with the rest. Off the top of my head, I though I could make pico de gallo and caprese salad. After posting on Facebook, I received several replies: fresh tomato sauce!

Ok, Google. Let's go! I found a lot of recipes. I particularly liked this one website that broke down the process pretty well. I have to say I was nervous to try it. I didn't need to be because it was easy to make and SO FRESH & DELICIOUS!! I can't wait to try different recipes in the future.
