Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes, in batches, to boiling water for 30 to 45 seconds. Remove from boiling water; plunge into ice water. Peel off tomato skins; cut in half. Remove seeds using your finger or a spoon. Place in a colander to drain.
  2. 2 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Combine tomatoes, onion, lemon juice, red wine, celery, basil, bell pepper, garlic, salt, bay leaves, and black pepper in a large pot over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down and sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Inspect 8 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until tomato sauce is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  5. 5 Pack tomato sauce into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot or canner and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 35 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove jars from the stockpot; place on a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, 8 hours to overnight. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place a baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. 2 Press pastry into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Cover with two layers of aluminum foil, then add pie weights or dried beans.
  3. 3 Slice heirloom and Roma tomatoes into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Remove seeds with your fingers and discard. Transfer six heirloom slices to a paper towel-lined plate; cover with more paper towels and set aside for decorating the pie. Arrange remaining heirloom slices and all Roma slices on a wire rack.
  4. 4 Place pie crust onto the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Place the wire rack with tomatoes onto a higher rack. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake until the bottom of the pie crust has lost its translucent raw look and the edges have just started to color, 12 to 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Leaving tomatoes in the oven, remove pie crust and carefully lift out the foil and weights. Cover the edges with foil to prevent them from burning. Poke bottom of crust several times with a fork to keep it from puffing up. Return pie crust to the baking sheet and bake until light golden brown on the bottom, about 8 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  6. 6 Continue baking tomatoes until wilted, 15 to 20 more minutes (for a total of 40 minutes). Remove from the oven and let cool for about 15 minutes; keep the oven on.
  7. 7 While the tomatoes are cooling, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until some of the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Add leek; cook until bacon is crisp and leek is soft and brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool, about 5 minutes.
  8. 8 Combine Cheddar, Fontina, mayonnaise, basil, egg, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add bacon-leek mixture and mix until well combined.
  9. 9 Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture into pie crust, then arrange 1/2 of the roasted tomatoes over top, alternating heirlooms and Romas; repeat layers once more. Spread remaining cheese mixture over top, then gently press in reserved fresh heirloom slices in a decorative pattern. Cover the edges with foil, leaving tomatoes uncovered.
  10. 10 Bake until browned and bubbly on top, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely before serving, about 1 hour.

  4. 4 Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and carrot in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, tarragon, thyme, and paprika; continue to cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  5. 5 Stir roasted peppers, tomatoes, water, and hot sauce into the peppers mixture, place a cover on the pot, and cook until the tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.
  6. 6 Pour vegetable broth into the pot; add lentils, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil, cover the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until lentils are tender, about 45 minutes.
  7. 7 Pour soup into a blender or food processor no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse several time to get the soup to be only slightly chunky. Repeat processing until all soup has been blended.

Instructions

  1. 1 Wash tomatoes, cut in half, and remove cores. Roughly chop tomatoes and place into a large pot with salt.
  2. 2 Bring tomatoes to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are soft and reduced down, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool, about 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Place tomatoes in a blender and puree until smooth, about 30 seconds. Strain tomatoes through a fine mesh strainer, pushing the mixture through with the back of a spoon to remove bits of skin and seeds.
  4. 4 Ladle into 2 clean pint-sized jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If you prefer a thicker puree, return to the pot and simmer to desired consistency, then cool and place in jars.
