I stumbled onto this guy on YouTube, and he's awesome. Here is his VERY old school way of making tomato sauce.

That's a big operation for a pot of sauce..I guess that's the retired procedure..thanks to immersion blenders I just carve some of the stem, then grind the whole tomatoes before adding them to the pot. Nice to see other methods, though..can always learn a thing or two..
A lost art, for sure..thanks for sharingI just thought it was really cool to watch someone who is obviously quite old do this sauce in a way that very few people would do it today. It is actually something I'd like to do once... probably only once. It is way too much work, but might be fun to do that one time.

does cooking it on an open wood burning fire add anything to the flavor of the final product ?
Just curious
The video I posted above shows three families in Italy doing the same thing.I doubt it. It seems like that is how it was done when he was a kid in Italy, when the whole town got together to make sauce. I assume he is just following tradition -- and sharing a bit of history with us.
