Hi everyone,

I just got finished putting my tomatoes through the mill. I ended up with 7 gallons of Opalka and 1 gallon San Marzano. I would like to try making sauce for the first time. I am hoping to try brokenbar's recipe.

A few questions to start:

How much do I reduce the processed tomatoes? ie: by half?

How long does it usually take to process?

What is the best way to reduce them? ( I have one 5-6 quart crock pot, stock pots, etc.

Should I combine the tomatoes?

Thank you in advance!
Andrea
