As a home gardener I will say that growing cherry tomatoes is much easier than their fuller sized counterparts. The plants take up less space and I find them to be much more hardy. Last year I grew san marzano and amish paste tomatoes in hopes of making sauce with them, my mom gave me a cherry tomato plant I didn't want and that thing put out more cherry tomatoes in one week than my entire summer crop of big tomatoes. If you have any amount of outdoor space try growing a couple cherry tomato plants and you might be in the sauce all summer. :)

They ripen quickly, there's less time for blight to hit or animals to snatch, far less likely to get blossom end rot (I've never seen it and I've never seen newer gardeners I've been helping get it), you can grow them in containers.

My mother made a sauce like this from way back in the 70's, that we put on bread. She used the tomatoes from my grandfather's vegetable garden. I still make it for myself, every now and then. I use roma/plum tomatoes. I peel them, melt a knob of butter in a sauce pan, put in some powdered paprika, cut the flesh from the core of the tomatoes, seeds and all and let it melt into a chunky sauce. A pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and its done. Tastes perfectly fine, as is. Sometimes i saute some finely chopped onion and/or a clove of garlic in the butter, before i ad the tomatoes. I would finish that with an Italian herb mix. Mostly oregano and basil. I think i'm gonna go see how much tomatoes i have left in the fridge. I am literally salivating at the thought of it.

100% agree, but you can't crowd them like they did in the video. That results in a mostly _stewed_ sauce, rather than a roasted one. You need to place them in a single layer, and let the skins get some colour (i.e. turn a nice brown at least). This causes sugars beneath the skins to caramelize, and produces a MUCH better sauce.

@Rhonda the cherry tomatoes you can either leave them whole or cut them in half. As far as vegetables I've use diced a shallot, red bell pepper, eggplant. Light drizzle with olive oil. The glass Pyrex baking pan Eva used in this video is fine if use one big container of cherry tomatoes, but if you are making a huge batch of sauce you really should use a large roasting pan. Add salt and pepper to taste put in the oven. I would check the sauce every twenty minutes and stir. If you want to add some wine that is fine to. When the sauce is done you can leave it as is or puree it with immersion blender if you have one. If you don't you can ladle some or all of your sauce into a blender depending on if you want your sauce chunky or completely pureed. I learned this one recipe from a coworker from Brazil. He would use halved cherry tomatoes, a couple of garlic cloves (thinly sliced) some diced celery, Use thin slices of beef wrapped around a baby carrots and strip of salt pork. Use tooth picks to keep what is basically a rouladen. Add to a roasting pan with a light drizzle of olive oil /some wine and add salt/ pepper to taste. Check as needed.

I made tomato sauce today for the first time! I used the first method with cherry tomatoes from my garden. I have 15 plants and there is a good harvest every day in August. I did this first batch with just 3 lbs, so about half of what you used. I kept it simple with just 2 basil leaves which were also fresh from my garden, and a single crushed garlic clove, along with barely a tablespoon of salt and it still may have been too much. I reduced by about half until I found the consistency I wanted. 3 lbs of cherry tomatoes yielded 2 cups of sauce... WOW! The flavors! Oh My God! Not only the best tomato sauce I've tasted but it's pretty much a soup unto itself! Next 3lbs I'm going to try the baked method and see how it compares.

Our vegetable gardens and orchards converged in the backyards separated by fences...we exchanged fruit and veg with each other...the old folks fed us their ethnic foods to us hungry kids playing in the streets...the smells of lunch and dinner wafting in the air made us feel loved and secure as children.

I roasted a full 9 lbs. which yielded 4.5 pints of sauce. It was thicker and richer and less astringent than the sauce I got from cooking them down on the stove. And even though the sauce comes out a little bit lighter in color, I suspect due to the air incorporation from the blender, this is the way I'm going to make my sauce from now on. Bravo!

This year, my uncle gave me a few tomato plants, of a variety called Matt's Wild. Hands down - those were the BEST tomatoes I've ever eaten in my life! I think they're the tiniest variety. They're about the size of blueberries. They're very sweet. They almost taste like cooked tomato sauce when they're raw. I love them for sandwiches because they're so small that you don't need to cut them. Unfortunately, each individual plant is not that productive, though, so if you wanted to make sauce out of them exclusively, you'd have to grow a ton of them. And you have to grow them yourself because I've never seen them in any store or farmer's market ever. I don't remember where my uncle got the seeds from, but I'm sure you could probably order them online.

I live fo mix different colored tomatoes, since orange and green tomatoes are very sweet and give the sauce a lot of flavor. Some varieties I recommend are Persimmon, Orange Oxheart, Aunt Ruby's German Green, Orange Russian. Paste tomatoes are also of course great. San marzano is the commercial pick and does an excellent job. I however think that Jersey Devil and Opalka are way better taste wise, but those are garden varieties. So for the home garden those two are amazing picks, while san marzano is excellent for field production, since it's better for transport and has a better shelf life

Years ago I did help my mom with canning tomatoes using the first method that Eva did. Since we canned over 100 hundred jars, it was a bit back breaking. So we ended up basically cutting our tomatoes, (usually Roma style tomatoes), cooking them with salt and basil and then placing them in jars and storing for future tomato sauce. When I am ready to use I blend them and at which point I would add onion or garlic. I tried a new brand of cherry tomato this year, grown by one of the farmers. The brand is called campari tomato.

I mixed pounds of tiny pear shaped with pounds of cherry varieties, tastiest sauce ever. We mixed cherry tomatoes with san marzano's and some north american roma varieties, outstanding. can have a lot of fun making a mess with very large pots on a stove.

i've done cherry tomato sauce many times. growing a few tomato vines every year, i always have way more cherry tomatoes than i know what to do with, so it's an easy choice. cook them slow in a pot, mashing them as they cook, and then put in a food mill to seperate the skins from the sauce. labor intensive, but i love it. Looks almost exactly as the first one you have done here!

OMG! loved it. I have to admit i was skeptical because i normally would buy a canned sauce but use that as a base to make my own. I loaded it with lots of herbs and even chili power mostly to offset the sugar they add to these.... Evas sauce looked so good, so i bought a bunch of cherry tomato's because they were on the clearance rack. so i decided to try this. I cut them in half and baked them and blendered them as a base. I have been using that in pans of single servings with various additions including gorgonzola. Im a changed man. Does Eva have a sister ;) ....i now want to move to southern Italy. Thank you Eva, thank you very much!

Hi Guys! I’m an Italian Chef that went to The CIA, HYDE PARK,NY. Ava you are the best! We were blessed to be in a kitchen with Italian Moms and Grandma’s. I’m 72 and I have a 47 year old Son. He learned how to make “Sunday Sauce” from his Mom at 13! But……. his Mother would not teach him how to make the Meatballs until he found a wife so they could be in the kitchen together on Sundays! You will love his recipe that we never shared outside the “Family”! 1 can of Mutti Crushed Tomatoes, 1 bottle of Mutti Passata, and a basket of Cherry Bomb Tomatoes the last hour and a half of the cook! ( The cherry tomatoes explode in your mouth with every spoonful) On Sunday he puts a version of your meatballs in the Sunday Sauce! It’s almost like we our family!! Keep up the great videos! We can’t let these recipes die! God bless You!

Cherry tomatoes grow the best and are the SWEETEST, most delicious sauce! Also all the basils, thyme, oregano grow exceptionally well here 🏜️👍👍👍

I made everything in this video and it was fabulous! Sad thing we just came back from Italy and I was sadly disappointed in the food. Two of the restaurants had Michelin stars. The only place I had fabulous food was in small villages in Naples! I’m had to go to the restaurants the locals go to. Huge difference in flavors! I’ve been to Italy 14 times and I’ve found you need to go to local restaurants and definitely stay away from the tourist places! Not that there are great restaurants in tourist locations but it’s hard to find one!

You can grow a bucket of cherry tomatoes on a single tomato plant and you can grow the plants in buckets (although I prefer the garden). It's a great way to get into gardening as they are a fairly easy going plant. Although there are lots of videos about pruning your plants I just let mine grow wild and they yield... well buckets. Seriously, just try it.

I grow a cherry tomato (Wales UK) alled Tumbling Tom. They grow a prolific amount from May to October, 2 plants to a 12" square tub. I grow indoors. I love the strong slightly acidic rich flavour for pasta/ pizza sauce. I do skin them by steeping in hot water then the skins just squeeze off.

The best tomatoes I get are grown in Niagara region in Ontario Canada. It has something to do with the sun, rain, humidity and air lake effect. My friend's neighbor sells them. They are the size of grapefruits. You go out in the field and pick them fresh that day and take them home for sauce, salads, stews etc. He also sells the smaller variety Italians like for sauce. As far as sauce goes I make the best anytime of the year. You can use fresh or canned. I use canned tomatoes, paste, lots of garlic, olive oil, fresh basil and oregano. That is the base sauce. Meat is optional. People say I have the best sauce they've tasted but I have tasted other good ones too. I also am a big fan of Reggiano cheese with pasta.

Two years ago I had a tun of cherry tomatoes so I decided to can them while I was canning my regular Roma tomatoes. Boy oh boy what a great experiment! With some of them I added a couple cloves of garlic and a sprig of oregano game changer! I will do this every year from now on!! I add them to sauce/gravy, sheet pan meals. Absolutely delicious to smell the jar 🫙 I knew I Did Good 😊. Give it a try if you can. I don’t peal them. Skins on cherry tomatoes are very thin and don’t bother us.

How absolutely fun was that! I loved this video. You two have a chemistry that is great, and you seem actually to be speaking to your individual listeners. Plus, I love the simple approach to Italian cooking where quality ingredients can shine alone. When I travelled with students in Europe, of the six countries we visited, Italy, without doubt, had the best food. It's worth going to Italy for the melon gelato. I've never had anything--anything!--like it in the states.

Once, I was given a bushel of salad tomatoes and I decided to make a simple sauce. The entire bushel cooked down to one jar of sauce, no lie. Since then I've stuck to roasted plum tomato sauces enhanced with herbs, balsamic, a little onion; and I'm very happy with it.

Not only is it the best tasting sauce, it's so simple. I take one container, like you bought, put them in a roasting pan, throw in a couple garlic cloves, whole, EVOO and salt, roast at 375,about 10-15 minutes, until the skins pop, remove , cool a little, crush everything, but not pureed, leave a little texture, add some fresh basil, serve on any pasta. I too am amazed more people don't know this easy, simple, but delicious sauce.

There has never been a tomato I have not loved. I actually had an abundance of yellow Roma tomatoes, I decided to try to make a spicy tomato jam/preserve, it is so good on toast with fried halloumi cheese! Yum. Thank you for sharing this.
