Ingredients
- 30 pounds ripe tomatoes

- The secret to getting tomato sauce is low and long cooking. The low temperature and cooking for a long time allows the water to evaporate enough to taste the sweet tomato sauce at the end. Cook until the tomato sauce has thicken. Mix on and off so it doesn't stick to the bottom.
