for when tomatas are not in season
Instructions (7)
  1. Procure a dozen fine ripe tomatas, and, having first picked off the stalks, extract the seeds and watery parts, by squeezing them separately in the hand.
  2. Place them in a stewpan, containing four ounces of raw ham cut into dice, a few shalots, a bay-leaf, and thyme, fried in a little butter until they become brown.
  3. Put the tomatas with these on the fire until they are molten.
  4. After having passed them through the tammy into a purée, mix the produce with a little Velouté sauce, a small piece of glaze, and a little consommé.
  5. Stir the sauce on the fire till it boils, and then set it by the side of the stove to continue boiling gently, that it may clear itself.
  6. Skim it thoroughly, and pour it into a bain-marie for use.
When using ready-prepared tomato sauce
  1. When the ready-prepared tomato sauce, as sold by oilmen, is used, as must be the case when tomatas are not in season, it will be necessary only to attend to the latter part of the foregoing directions.

It is, perhaps, needless to observe, that, when the ready-prepared tomato sauce, as sold by oilmen, is used, as must be the case when tomatas are not in season, it will be necessary only to attend to the latter part of the foregoing directions.
