Thank you very much for the posts and sharing this process, this is going to be my way of processing any sauce now, simplely the best!
I did not peel or remove seeds before roasting, then I processed it in a food processor, turns out to be the best sauce we've ever had!
Absolutely no need for sugar.

And I made two batches this weekend. And I learned an important lesson...
*NEVER ADD SUGAR* if you are cooking with heirloom tomatoes.
The first batch is a bit on the sweet side. The second batch is heavenly.
We added about a tablespoon of sugar to the first batch against six and a half pounds of peeled and cored tomatoes.
Then we went to Williams Sonoma and bought the 50 dollar OXO food mill.
The second batch had about 5 pounds of tomatoes but both batches yielded about two and a half pounds of sauce. And the manual food mill saved about an hour of prep.
Here are the before and after pix.

Then through the food mill using the medium blade. No pix of that yet.[/QUOTE]
