making tomato sauce from fresh tomatos -- quick poll please

[MousyMouse]

tomato glut here.
gardeners delight and beefsteak.
have decided o make pasta + sauce today.
should I skin/deseed?
blitz?

Skin yes but no need to deseed.

I do this and it'f lovely.. Skin them first, then chop half chunkilly and blitz the other half.

Can you roast them in the skin then pick the skin off? I am very jealous!

made the most amazing sauce last night.
cut the tomatoes in half, cut an onion into chunks, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 teaspoons of madras curry powder, a little salt.
roaast in the oven for about 20 min. fish out the garlich peel. blitz it all.
omg it was sooooo good.

Can't be bothered. Roast and blend with garlic herbs etc

Jamie Oliver adds a bit of the vinegar from a jar of jalapenos into his for a kick.

are they normal tomatoes or plum?

Sorry failed to properly read your initial post. doh. half the night up with a teething toddler.

I wouldn't bother skinning or deseeding.

I roast them with skins on then mouli them. Takes the skin and white bits (what are they called?) out and makes a lovely textured sauce.
