Stirring frequently over medium-high heat, bring to a boil reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer until very soft, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat cool. Place 2 cups at a time in a blender container or food processor bowl cover and blend or process until uniform but not smooth. Return to kettle.

Place kettle in oven and bake, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until consistency of commercial tomato sauce. Cool. Ladle into 1-pint freezer containers, leaving 1-inch headspace. Cover and freeze.
