Wordless Wednesday – It’s the tomato sauce time!
by Rita Azar on February 27, 2013
February is the time my in-laws get together with friends and family to prepare the bottles of tomato sauce for the rest of the year.
As you can see in these pictures, they are well equipped and well organised!
Did you ever made tomato sauce?
Linking this post with Trish over at My little drummer boys and with Bree over at Twinkle in the Eye for Wordless Wednesday.

It’s definitely the season to do the tomato sauce Cathy!
Thanks for sharing – as kids my mum used to make spaghetti, and also preserve every fruit you can imagine. Unfortunately I have developed her passion for it
xx
That’s great traditions to have Emily!
Just placed your link under my own in comments on my Facebook page. My inlaws still fire their drums by fire, but being in suburbia my parents now use gas under the house
Still can’t get over how similar your photos are – same machinery, same buckets lol
Thanks Cathy!
This post made me return many years back… I remember my grand parents when they use to do the tomato sauce. Rita, you took perfect pictures.
What great memories!
This reminds of that movie/book “looking for Alabrandi” where at the beginning of the movie all the relatives get together to make tomato sauce. What a wonderful tradition!
I don’t know this movie. I must find it and watch it.
Wow! That’s a lot of tomato sauce. I’ll take some home!!
They do a huge quantity for all the family!
Oh wow I have always been envious of Italian families for having tomato day – I really want to come to one and help out
And then take home a few bottles of delicious sauce of course!!
I’ll let you know Ros when they will make it next year. They will be happy to give you some.
I just became an expat (USA to India) and am looking forward to discovering more about your journey!

Wowzers that is a LOT of tomatoes!! Funnily enough I have just made tomatoe ketchup for the first time ever this week. I made it with tomatoes and plums so its a little on the sweet side but the kids LOVE it x
Yum! I love tomato ketchup… I had friends who made it back in Canada.
That looks like some serious sauce making right there. I can imagine it will go into making some delicious food too
The bolognaise sauce made with this tomato sauce just taste amazing Alicia.
I’m so envious!! This is such a great tradition, not one known in Scotland where I come from. What a laugh. Really enjoyed seeing these photos. xx
It is a great tradition. My in-laws also do their own sausages and their own wine.
