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
LOVE this. Always wanted to be a part of one of these days. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh love this, we have a the best basil right now, the tomatoes are going great guns too, what a lovely way to preserve them over Winter, bottled goodness. I married into a Nothern Italian family but we'll take your southern recipe thanks, love Posie
