Tomato-Basil Sauce

Maria Helm Sinskey, culinary director at Robert Sinskey Vineyards, preserves the bumper crop of tomatoes from the winery’s gardens. She cans San Marzano-style tomatoes to use in sauces like this one. You will need 3 quarts of home-canned tomatoes for this recipe. When canning tomatoes, Sinskey processes the jars in a hot-water bath for 40 minutes.
