Instructions

  • Preheat the oven 325 degrees. Line two large baking sheet with foil, parchment or silpats.

  • Increase the temperature to 400 degree and bake an additional 30 minutes.
  • Process mixture through a food mill to remove any seeds and skins.
  • Divide into batches and transfer to a blender, blending until just mixed but still has texture.
  • Transfer all blended tomatoes to a dutch oven over medium high heat.
  • Add the red wine, sugar and oregano. Stir occasionally until boiling.
  • Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

If you do not have a food mill: press tomatoes through a sieve, removing as much of the skins and seeds as possible.
