My DH has gone back to school and is in the process of becoming a chef. He considers the Vitamix "cheating." He would rather make sauce the old fashioned way, but I had too many tomatoes for that, so I got in the kitchen when he wasn't home and made a bunch of sauce! I really like the Belmonte sauce and I will be growing that one again because it was also good for fresh eating. They are such fun shapes, almost like balloon animals! The plant was HUGE and produced a lot of fruit. It had time to ripen almost all before this weeks killing frost.
I also plan to try a green sauce made from mostly Malachite Box with a few other greens in there. I ran out of time, so they are chopped and frozen for later when I have more time (and when DH isn't looking)
