Tomato Sauce


The most basic of basics and this time of year, especially, people are looking for things to do to use up fresh garden tomatoes. 

4 c chopped tomatoes
2 tb honey
1 small onion, diced
2 tb olive oil
1 tsp salt, or to taste
2 cloves garlic
4 tb basil (fresh) or 1 tb (dried)
Pinch of oregano, fresh or dried

Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer a half hour.

To this you can add almost anything; say, mushrooms or green peppers. Just sauté them for a few minutes before adding the above ingredients and cooking the sauce. Sometimes I also add a thickener like tomato paste.
