Add the chopped tomatoes and all the remaining ingredients and seasonings. Bring to a boil, skim off the foam, and simmer for 4-5 hours. Then strain through a sieve and reduce the liquid slightly. Freeze in portions in suitable freezer containers. This basic sauce can be used with anything that is based on tomato sauce or requires it.
