Method

  1. Put the tomatoes, garlic and olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cover and cook for 10 mins, shaking occasionally, until the tomatoes have collapsed completely.
  2. Season generously and add the sugar. Remove the lid and boil for 5 mins until the garlic is soft. Allow to cool, then sieve the pulp. You can now pour into freezer-proof containers and freeze for up to 3 months, or pour into jars and keep in the fridge for up to 1 week. Or use straight away in sauces, soups and stews.

    During the summer 'glut' of tomatoes here in Spain I make enough to last a year- I add a large chopped onion to the above recipe but blitz in the blender-then reduce in a large saucepan until thick-cool and freeze-no sieving required- can also add when reduced some lightly fried mushrooms peppers etc

    I do something very similar, but do it in the oven, and its gorgeous, MY TOP TIP is to free in ice cube trays, or other small containers,then you can add a few cubes to a casserole, and if you want a larger quantity, get out what you need and they thaw quicker than a large amount
