Then I seeded them (got most of the seeds) by opening each crevice/thing that holds pulp and seeds with a finger/fingernail, and sort of scooping out the pulp with my fingers. I then took the tomatoes and cooked them down (no liquid) for quite a long time, and they really cooked down and got tomato paste-y.

To make the sauce, I strained the pulp and added that and some water, and sauted onions and garlic and spices. (and fresh veggies). but I'd just freeze it at the tomato paste part.

Thanks! I'm going to try this this weekend!
