Analyzing cooking steps...
Using ripe, in-season Roma tomatoes will give you the best flavor.
The ice bath is a crucial step to stop the cooking immediately and make peeling the tomatoes very easy.
Cooking the onions slowly over low heat is key to developing a sweet flavor base for the sauce, a technique called 'sweating'.
Always stir your sauce while it simmers to prevent it from scorching on the bottom of the pan.
This sauce can be made in a larger batch and stored in the refrigerator or frozen for later use.
