How to make fresh cherry tomato passata.....

Hey there everyone, I thought I would share with you my sisters recipe for fresh
cherry tomato passata.
This is so simple and quick and is absolutely delicious. 
Step one is to grab a glass of wine and the kids,( in that order ) and get harvesting!
Just try not to eat too many of these sweet juicy little red balls of goodness
before you get them inside!

(Look at that cute little bum!)

Ok so spread them all out in a baking tray.....

Toss in smashed whole garlic cloves, heaps of olive oil, and fresh herbs
like rosemary, thyme, oregano.  Save basil till later as it tends to
cook too quick being a soft leaf herb

then place in a hot oven till hot and bubbling and you can see the tomatoes
are starting to reduce

Then place into dutch oven on stove top and add red wine, more olive oil (if you need it)
tomato paste, salt, pepper, sugar and fresh basil...heaps of it.  Let it reduce to a
consistency you like then blend it all up with a stick mixer as chunky or as smooth as you like it. eat it fresh or store in containers in freezer.  I like to let the flavours develop over night before eating. Mmmm mmmm delicious, fresh lip smackin tomato goodness!
Enjoy
