Homemade Instant Pot Marinara Tomato Sauce
My garden is doing very well this year, and the tomatoes are ripening, with some to pick every day! I like to make tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes, and I especially enjoy making Instant Pot Marinara Fresh Tomato Sauce.

Perfect as written, or as a start for experimenting! Last time I added an apple for a little sweetness during the cooking process instead of sugar at the end. I also added 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika. So delicious and a quick an easy way to process a lot of tomatoes in a short amount of time. I put the sauce in bags and store in freezer for winter deliciousness!

Great Sauce. Time estimates are a bit optimistic, but I'm a slow chef.
I used 3/4 cup fresh basil from my garden, a little thyme and a big Onion.
I strained the sauce through a fine sieve to remove the seeds
I also blanched and pealed the tomatoes so I could dehydrate and grind into tomato powder.
After simmering to thicken, I put the pot in the oven for 2 Hrs at 170 to let the ingredients get to know each other.
