[@karinepaquet7513]

Love this sauce. I made i pintes of it. It’s so fun to smooch the tomatoes with our hands. I did make a small mess but I was more careful after a few mishaps lol. I also did the tomato powder with the peels and well, although it did turn out good but it was time consuming to peels and to dry. I will do the feeling and the sauce but I’ll just keep the peels for soups or broth. A whole case of tomatoes gave me about 4 tbsp of powder. Not sure if I did something wrong or if it’s normal but definitely not attempting it again. I am grateful to have it in my pantry. I’ll try to find a good recipe to use it.

Hi Mary, wonderful recipe, thank you. I have noticed in many of your videos you mention keep the skins ( garlic, onion, etc) these type of items can't be washed so how do you make them safe to use? Have a great day.

[@MarysNest]

Hi Ann, Great question. I don’t worry about it because they are all things that I’m going to use in making some type of broth, stock, or bone broth where they are going to be heated. But you could certainly try to rinse the exteriors before you started cutting them if you were concerned. As far as pesticides go, when it comes to things that have grown in the ground like onions, carrots, etc. I tried to buy organic when possible. However, I’m not too concerned when it comes to onions because they are members of the clean 15 - meaning that they have the least amount of pesticides are used on them to grow. Love, Mary

[@knothead35]

Hi Mary! Why do you use less tomatoes if they're canned than if they're fresh? 12lbs of fresh vs 7lbs of canned....I got a great deal on Muir glen crushed tomatoes and am looking to use them up soon by making and canning some arrabbiata sauce.

Can I water can this and or freeze it once it has cooled?

[@annelefevre9457]

Mary, I want to cry😥. In my sons garden, he just didn’t get the tomatoes amounting to what he thought he would. While we are eating all we want fresh ( which I love) , we aren’t getting enough to home bottle things like this wonderful looking marinara sauce. We have enough for a batch or two for speghetti , which my daughter in law made some the other night w/ meatballs that was delicious. However, the weren’t Roma. But it was very good. But to home can some and bottle for use over the coming year, isn’t going to happen this year. Yours looks just absolutely wonderful. My brother says because if the drought in California, a lot of farmers have had to turn their water off. He said tomatoes will go sky high. But I don’t know that for sure. That’s his opinion. But I love you and your videos Mary. My mouth always water for the things you cook. Thanks for everything! See you next time, and please hurry back!

[@andreacremeans1055]

A tip is to freeze the tomato whole but cut off the stem. When you get enough to process, pull them out and the skins will come right off (you can even take the skins off before freezing if you want) and process them like you would if they were fresh. 💕

[@MarysNest]

Hi Andrea, Great tip!!

I have not home canned this but I think it might be OK to pressure can. But I would check with the online site the national Center for home food preservation to be sure. If you wanted to water bath can it, you might have to add some citric acid or lemon juice. You’ll want to check online or with a ball canning book Before you proceed. Love, Mary

[@sue8319]

This was great Mary, thanks. However, I always add garlic at the last because I thought it would burn. Also, an different question, Balsamic vinegar, I had some once they was sweet and dark, as well as thick. The friend didn’t remember what kind she purchased. Any thoughts? Thanks, waving to you from Michigan Oh BTY, thanks for defining what Marinara sauce is. Mary how would I make tomato soup? Another question, can I freeze this?

[@MarysNest]

Hi Sue, First - as to the balsamic vinegar. Yes, there are all different types based on how long they were aged. The longer the age - which should be indicated on bottles of real balsamic vinegar with the use of leaves (one leaf leased aged, 4 leaves longest aged) - will mean that the balsamic vinegar will be thicker and sweeter. What a great idea about tomato soup! I'll add that to my list of videos to make. As to the marinara, yes, you can freeze it. Be sure to check the written recipe over on my website: marysnest.com/how-to-make-marinara-sauce-with-fresh-or-canned-tomatoes/ Love, Mary

[@joanies6778]

I learned a trick from Laura in the Kitchen... she puts the garlic and oil in the cold pan together, and heats it up. It infuses the oil as it slowly heats up... throwing it in heated oil makes for a greater chance of it burning.

[@sue8319]

@G-man thanks

[@SWilliams-01]

Hi Mary! My mother in law can’t eat lectins so I was going to make her some home made sauce when she visits. That means no skin and no seeds. Will removing the seeds change anything about the recipe? Will I will need more tomatoes or maybe more liquid?

[@juliezaro8104]

Can you can this recipe?

[@ThuLe-eh1xe]

Some chef add sugar to counter act the acidity of tomatoes. Will it make the sauce taste better? Thanks.

[@MarysNest]

Great question. When you make an all day simmered "Sunday" spaghetti sauce, the acidity increases so chefs will often add a pinch of sugar. With a marinara, you are only simmering the sauce for about an hour - covered - so there is very little evaporation and very little concentration of the acidity so you really shouldn't need any sugar but if you find your sauce needs it, by all means add it. Love, Mary

[@islandmama]

No pinch of sugar?

[@MarysNest]

Great question. It's not traditionally added to marinara since this is more of a loose sauce and cooked quickly so it is not so intense as a "Sunday" sauce that is simmered all day and can benefit from a bit of sweetness to offset the concentrated acidity. But if you find tomatoes simply too acidic, by all means add some sugar to soften the taste. Love, Mary

[@karenpage9383]

@@MarysNest So *that* is why some sauces are more acidic! I thought it must be different varieties of tomatoes. We grew a ton of Roma tomatoes this year, which I expected them to come in all at once. Instead they trickled in over 6 weeks or so. I opted to freeze them so they could be processed in one day and then canned. So many other recipes call for the long simmer time to reduce the water content. It surprised me to see you actually add water, though I understand you wanted a thinner sauce. I've seen others core their tomatoes and score the bottom. Freezing then causes the peels to come right off once thawed. Or at least that is what is supposed to happen! The other benefit to freezing is that the tomato juice should be easier to drain off. I love to drink tomato juice so this seems like a 2 for 1 process. Fingers crossed! 🤞

WHY do they call it Marinara ? in germany and other countries is this A SIMPLE but delicious a tomato sauce

[@MarysNest]

Hi Stefanie, great question. Yes, marinara is a simple - quick to make - tomato sauce. It is called marinara because this is the type of tomato sauce that Italian sailors ("mariners") liked. It was easy to make on a ship and did not need to be simmered all day so the sailors could be fed quickly. Love, Mary

Oregano will make this taste like a pizza sauce. Fresh basil is available in supermarkets 12 months a year. Being too watery and having no basil in it makes this a no-go. Thanks anyway.

Mary’s Nest - please correct your online recipe - it says 11 tsps of red pepper flakes rather than 1 tsp.

Looks delicious!

Oh dear! Thank you!! Love, Mary

Why do you give so much choices! I could not follow anything you explain.

[@MarysNest]

Oh Gary, I am so sorry to hear this. I try to make things very accessible for home cooks so they do not need to buy anything special. I like to help them to use what they already have on hand. Love, Mary

It’s sorta odd Mary is infatuated with nutrient rich foods but is oblivious to being obese

Hi JT, Thanks for your concern. I am not oblivious to my weight. I am in my mid-60s and have been on a weight loss journey having lost 37 pounds so far. It's not easy when you get older and especially difficult for post-menopausal women. However, it brings me joy to share my nutrient rich foods journey with others. So thank you for your patience with me. Love, Mary

I want to make sauce or marinara but I only have slicing tomatoes. What can I do with those?
