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.

Hi Sandy, your sauce is AMAZING, we have been making it for two tomato seasons now and cannot go back to store bought. So here I am making it in winter because we ran out! Had to use store bought tomatoes, so we chose “on the vine” and “Roma”, 2 and 3 pounds respectively. Turned out GREAT, just not as great as with homegrown tomatoes. Thank you so much, have shared with MANY fellow instant pot chefs😎

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.
