Tomato Sauce Recipe

Twenty-five Cent Dinners For Families Of Six

Boil together for one hour quarter of a can of tomatoes,

or six large fresh ones, (cost five cents,) one gill of broth of any

kind, one sprig of thyme, one sprig of parsley, three whole cloves,

three peppercorns, and half an ounce of onion sliced; (cost two cents;)

rub them through a sieve with a wooden spoon, and set the sauce to keep

hot; mix together over the fire one ounce of butter, and half an ounce

of flour, (cost two cents,) and when smooth incorporate with the tomato

sauce. The cost of the tomato sauce will be about ten cents, and of the

entire dish about eighteen cents. If you do not wish to use all the

tomato sauce, and you do not need to, save it to use with fried chops of

any kind.
