An easy to prepare tomato sauce that you can throw anything else in that you have in the garden
Core and cut in half your tomatoes and place in dutch oven on medium high heat. An alternative is to place cut up tomatoes in a large roasting pan and roast at 400 degrees for an hour and then dump them into your dutch oven to cook further
When the mixture is bubbling away, throw in whole thyme sprigs, the bay leaf, honey, salt and pepper, fresh peppers, and onion
Cook for at least an hour or two and remove the thyme sprigs. By this time, all the leaves will disappear and the stems will be left
Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth
Continue cooking for an hour or so until the sauce thickens to your liking. You could even add a small can of tomato paste to make it nice and thick
Take it off the stove top and add chopped up basil and stir it in
Once the mixture completely cools, put into containers and refrigerate or freeze
