Baked Tomato Sauce - Homemade from fresh tomatoes

20 small Plum or Roma tomatoes splited lengthwise and seeded - use fingers for this job or a spoon will do a more cleaner job
Line this in a glass baking pans
Sprintz with olive oil
Add one Tbsp each oregano and thyme fresh - if used dry cut to 2tsp each
1/2 tsp salt
Grinds of black pepper
1 cup finely diced onion - red , yellow or white, choice in yours
2 tsp finely mined garlic
1 bay leaf

Into 325 degree oven....
Now why not use a pot like others, because by surrounding it with dry heat , we can remove the excess moisture thus conc the flavors
and also tomatoes contain sugar, which will stick on any pan, by this way we can forget it for 2 hour
2 hours later, we need to create new flavors - by carmelization , turn it to 400 and cook for another half hour
Time to grind - do it via a food mill or a blender / food processor


Check the tomatoes after 1 hour and turn down the heat if they seem to be cooking too quickly. Then turn the oven to 400 degrees and bake another 30 minutes.
