- 2-3 medium sweet peppers chopped (if you like spicy sauce add a few hot peppers)
- 2-3 medium onions (fine chopped) - white, yellow or purple are all good
- 2-3 cloves finely minced garlic (2-3 teaspoons)
- 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 3 teaspoons fresh chopped Italian (flat leafed) or regular parsley
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper (try smoked peppercorns)
Preheat oven to 325 F. Make dressing with garlic, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, basil, oregano, parley, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Mix tomatoes, peppers and onions in a large baking or roasting pan. Toss in dressing. Bake 2-4 hours until thick and savory.
Let sauce pan cool and measure out servings in zipper freezer bags and freeze. Use over pasta or any recipe calling for tomato sauce.
