Martha Stewart look out...

OK...so I got a bee up my "you know what" to make homemade spaghetti sauce cuz I am B*O*R*E*D...I went to the farmer's market this morning and got fresh tomatoes, carrots, and onions along with parsley and oregano. This is a totally MN grown spaghetti sauce! Here are the goods...with a few tomatoes to spare...First I had to core the tomatoes and then skin them by dunking them in a pot of boiling water and wait for the skin to split...
Then douse them in an ice water bath...
once they were cooled off the skin magically peeled off...I was totally impressed that this worked...Google is a good thing!!!
Here are the tomatoes in all of their "nakedness"...LOL after prepping the spices, onions, and carrots (yep, there are carrots in here...see ingredients above)...it is still simmering down to spaghetti sauce consistency.
I have tasted it and it's AMAZING...a bit spicy cuz there's crushed red pepper in there as well...but I think this recipe is a winner. I'm not sure how much it's gonna cost me...the tomatoes were about $8 and carrots were about .50...spices about $1 or so...when I see how much I get out of it I'll have a better idea of the cost...but it doesn't matter cuz it's way better than store bought!!!
