I love the idea of having a thick yet fresh-tasting sauce. I'm thinking I could use the drained tomato liquid in bread, maybe add some cheese and olives &/or garlic for something really fancy.

It worked great. There is 36 oz of tomato paste and 85 oz of sweet tasting tomato wash, by no means to be discarded, since it does taste good. -The total of 121 oz. (~7.5 #). The cheesecloth method concentration is 121/36 = about 3/1 Thanks for the tip. Just in time, Jeanne!

I especially like the draining through cheesecloth for a way to have a nice thick sauce without having to cook so long you lose the fresh flavor. I'll definitely try this! And I know I can come up with a way of using the juices. Great ideas, Jeanne!

I normally use canned tomato puree to make pizza sauce, but hunted for a way to use my harvest. I added my seasonings while the tomatoes were being processed. So glad I don't have to go the cooking route! THANK YOU! I tried this for the first time on my very first harvest (EVER!…there were nearly 70 tomatoes and only 6 plants!!) and it was terrific!

Great use for fresh tomatoes and you get a fresher, cleaner tasting sauce than when using canned products. @9 Gay: I totally agree.
