Easy Tomato Sauce- (Come on, It's Labor Day...)

We have had an awesome crop of tomatoes this year.  I am seriously overwhelmed by it, though.  We had a Labor day picnic today and my sweet sister helped me pick a bunch of tomatoes, so the whole time in the back of my head I was thinking, "When am I going to get those tomatoes in the freezer in some form so they don't go to waste?" 

I have frozen tomatoes whole before, but I don't love the texture when you go to use them in a soup or sauce later.  They seem too mushy for me.

I've also made a homemade spaghetti sauce and frozen it before, but it required taking the skins off of the tomatoes and then boiling them down.  Too many steps for me this weekend. 

So, I Googled easy tomato sauces, and found one!  I am so excited that Al and I were able to get about 2 dozen tomatoes into a basic tomato sauce form and into the freezer.  I forced him (nicely) to help me and it was so much quicker. 

Here's to a few weeks worth of tomato sauce!
