I make and freeze pasta sauce from my fresh tomatoes. I core and then dip whole tomatoes in boiling water and then ice water to remove the skins.
I squeeze the tomato over the sink and this removes most of the seeds and gel and then I rough chop the tomato's into a colander to drain for about 30 minutes. This gets rid of excess water and keeps my sauce from being watery. After draining for 30 minutes I make my pasta sauce with the fresh chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs, tomato paste, beef broth, vegetable broth and some Italian sausage. I still have some seeds in my sauce but I don't try to remove all of them. I freeze my sauce in mason jars.
