Tomatoes and a summer vegetable patch

It’s nearly time to make passata. These are the first tomatoes my mum collected to make tomato sauce. Like her many Italian mamma’s will be very busy soon making loads of passata to store for the winter months to come.

Passata di pomodoro is made from ripe tomatoes which have been puréed and “passed” through a sieve to remove the skin and seeds. It is then stored in jars and boiled for 10 minutes and that will create a vacuum seal and allow the passata to last for a long time.
