How Do I Make Crushed Tomatoes From Whole Tomatoes?
To make crushed tomatoes from whole tomatoes, rinse and dry the tomatoes, then cut them into chunks and place them in a large pot. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to crush the tomatoes to your desired consistency. Bring the tomatoes to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the mixture to cool and then ladle it into jars or freeze in containers. You can also add seasoning and spices to taste.
