conserva {The Sauce}














This weekend we made The Sauce - or Conserva - to the southern Italians.

A box of tomatoes.
A big pot.
A handful of salt.
Elbow grease to wind the puree machine.
Basil, sterilised bottles, tops, a funnel.

And then into a pot of water to be brought to the boil by a raging fire for at least 2 hours.

we'll do two more boxes next weekend xx
