Anyway I would like to completely use AP produce when possible.

Can anyone suggest substitutions for the canned tomato sauce? Cooking down tomatoes? Reducing the added water by water in fresh tomatoes?

Anyone have a favorite mild or medium salsa recipe?

Cook down the tomatoes with a little chicken stock (powdered instead of using salt) and pepper (perhaps a pinch of raw sugar if the tomatoes are not sweet enough)then add water afterwards. it takes a lot of tomatoes though. It tastes better than only part reducing them.

Thanks Sleepe for the suggestion. I'll add another recipe to the list.
