Today is the day that I get to reveal the blog I was paired with for the Secret Recipe Club!
First off, let me show you what I made!
I love homemade sauces. They are my absolute favorites! So I knew when I saw this recipe for Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce–I was going to make it.
This recipe can be discovered at Hezzi D’s Books and Cooks! When I first went to her website, I was drooling! She has so many delicious recipes to share! She even has another one that I intend on trying later for Cuban Pork Chops (she loves Bobby Flay too!)
I did not alter this recipe at all. Her version was SO delicious!
Enjoy!
Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
3 bulbs of garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, or green), halved and seeded
12 pounds of tomatoes, peeled
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1teaspoon ground pepper
1 cup fresh herbs (oregano, thyme, parsley, rosemary) chopped
3 tablespoons dried herbs (basil, parsley)
6 tablespoons bottled lemon juice
Directions
2. Remove the peppers and garlic from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. Remove the garlic from the bulb and place in a food processor and add the peeled, cut tomatoes. Process until just slightly chunky.
5. Remove from heat and remove lid. Let sit 5 minutes before removing from the canner. Let sit for 12 hours and then check the lids to make sure they sealed.

That sounds fantastic!
So glad to have received your blog this month. I’m looking forward to trying more of your recipes!
Oh wow – what a fabulous recipe. I wish I had a crop of garden tomatoes available to make it… going to save it for when I do.
Today is my first time joining the SRC – hope you’ll stop by for a visit.

I’m so glad you liked the sauce! I have a few pints of it to get me started this winter. You’ll love the cuban pork chops too-they are awesome!
I too love having tomato sauce in the freezer and this one looks like a winner.
If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to check out my group “A” SRC recipe this month: Welsh Cakes.

What a great way to use up any extra summer tomatoes – would love to have a stash in my freezer of this sauce! Nice pick for SRC.
My mom makes sauce with her neighbours every year. it’s a labour of love. I hope you had fun making this!
You’re right, nothing can beat a homemade sauce. This sounds like a keeper!
Yum! Looks great — I’m loving SRC, so many great new recipes to try!
I agree Amy! I keep looking at all these cooking blogs! My bookmark is so full of recipes I want to make
What delicious looking sauce, perfect for the freezer in winter. Visiting from SRC!

Now I know what to do with the remaining surplus of tomatoes from my garden! I would have been sold on this recipe too! Great SRC choice.
Thanks Vivian! Homemade sauce tastes SO good. You will love it!

We all need to have a recipe for the perfect tomato sauce! Fun being in the Secret Recipe Club with you. I baked up tarts this month for Group C http://su.pr/2rtACr
Just wanted to let you know I have made this using our surplus of roma tomatoes. Only difference is I also added roasted onion. So glad I came across this on the SRC!
