- 2 heads of fresh basil (4–6 leaves)
- 1 tsp salt

- Chop tomatoes and put in a large pot.
- Add shallots, carrots and garlic roughly chopped to pot.

- Turn down to a simmer and let simmer for 45 min.
- Add honey (to cut the bitter of the tomatoes) and salt, stir well.

- Push thru a sieve or food processor until smooth.
- At this point you can put the puree into jars, pressure can, or boiling bath can (with added citrus). Or you can let cool, and put into bags or containers and freeze.
