  • It’s all in the cook time and having a good pot when it comes to consistency. The good pot is key with tomatoes because they burn so easily when thickening. Many will say to remove as much water as you can first but you don’t want to do this because that’s where lots of nutrients and flavor come from. A slow cook is much better. As another poster suggested it is the same as making tomato paste just a different consistency. I usually roast everything first as well as is my habit from professional kitchens.



  • We run a small farm in Cape Breton. It’s hard without Facebook in Nova Scotia as most are so far behind and still using that as a method to communicate their small business. I’d suggest hitting the smaller farmers markets. Not the huge ones. Ask the folks who sell there about farms that sell by hanging weight. Once you find one that will lead you to another. Go talk to producers. Even if they don’t have what you are looking for they know someone who does.
