I am very happy to cheat by using my Vitamix. I am working on reducing the sauce down now and don't notice any bitterness. I am happy I am not wasting food by skinning and deseeding!
Before leaving for a solo camping/hiking road trip to Glacier NP a few weeks ago, I harvested a bunch of tomatoes and didn't have time to do anything with them. I stuck them into the freezer whole and I am processing those today.
Last year I made canned red marinara, green marinara and yellow/orange marinara for a total of about 50 jars. Just finished the last jar of it before making my first batch for this season.
Next year I am definitely growing more paste tomatoes so I am starting my want list now.
