A Recipe for Flowerpot Tomato Sauce

When your flowerpot garden grows enough tomatoes

wait until they are ripe, then pick them carefully.

                                                     

           

Chop garlic, onions, and peppers (red, green, or yellow).

Heat a little olive oil in a pan.

Cook the veggies for a few minutes.

Chop the tomatoes and add them to the pot.

Toss in a little salt and pepper, and some herbs from Grandmom's garden.

Cook and stir this mixture.  It is starting to smell delicious!

Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. How many minutes are left?

                              

It is OK to let someone taste the sauce.  Grandpa said it was yummy!

Six plum tomatoes made one cup of sauce.

I froze the sauce in two zipper baggies.

Your sauce is waiting for you in the freezer.  What shall we make with it? Spaghetti with meat sauce? Italian chicken nuggets? A Will-sized pizza? YUM.
