Roasted Tomato/Plum Sauce
Roasted Tomato / Plum Sauce
With my garden so abundant of beautiful tomatoes, one way of using them up was to make a tomato and plum sauce. Simple to make, tasty and accompany many dishes. With some vinegar for longevity use to bottle and could also freeze well.
Equipment
- Oven Tray for tomatoes.
- Blender
- Food Processor Depending on what you have and how chunky you want it.
- Baking dish for plums
Ingredients
- 3 Kilo Organic Tomatoes Approx (1 oven tray full)
- 3 Tbsp Organic Olive Oil
- 3 Tbsp Organic Balsmic Vinegar
- ¼ tsp Organic Chili Powder (or fresh depending on heat preference)
- 1 tsp Himilayan Salt
- Any other seasonal organic vegetables, i.e celery, carrots, zucchini, etc. Optional
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano or fresh
Plum Sauce
- 1 Kilo Organic Plums, halved and pitted
- 2 Tbsp Organic Liquid Honey
- 1 tsp Organic Vanilla extract
- 2-3 Slices Organic Lemon
Instructions
Making the Tomato Sauce
- Heat Oven to 375 degrees
- In the roasting tray add organic olive oil and single layer the tomatoes, cut side down. If adding optional vegetables nestle them inbetween the tomatoes.
- Roast for 45-50 minutes. or until vegetables (if added) are soft and tender and tomato skins are starting to brown, this will make removing of the skins very easy.
Making the Pum Sauce
- We want the pitted plums to go into the oven at the same time.
- In a bowl dissolve honey and vanilla.
- In a baking dish place the plums face side up and pour the honey over the plums with the thinly sliced lemons.
- Cover with foil and also bake for 45 mins.
Bringing it together.
- Once the tomatoes and vegetables are done, let cool for a bit and remove the tomatoes skins.
- Take the cooked plums out also and let cool for a bit.
- Add tomatoes, vegetables, herbs, balsamic vinegar, plums, salt and place in blender or processor until desired texture is achieved.
- Use right away or let cool and pour into jars for storage or this can be frozen also.
Notes
If you want more of a plum flavor to come through use 50 / 50 of plums and tomatoes.
