Like those assembly line sorters with holes

Yes, you've sent me the occasional occasionally

Well, okay, but she could be Ethel Smythe and

      Title: Yellow Tomato Sauce
 Categories: Sauces, Mexican
      Yield: 8 servings

      1 lg Onion, diced
      5    Garlic cloves, minced
    1/2 c  Fruity olive oil
      6 lb Yellow tomatoes, peeled,
           -seeded and cut into chunks
           -(may use red tomatoes)
    1/2 c  Tomato paste
      2 sm Canned chipotle chiles,
           -chopped
      2    Epazote leaves (a pungent
           -Mexican herb available in
           -Latin markets)
    1/2 bn Cilantro, chopped

  In a stainless steel saucepan, saute the onion in olive oil until
  soft. Add garlic and saute briefly. Add tomatoes, tomato paste,
  chiles and epazote. Simmer 15 minutes.

  Add chopped cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper.

  Puree, if desired, for a smoother texture.

  Makes approximately 2 quarts (about 8 servings).

  Sauce may be refrigerated up to two weeks or frozen for up to six
  months.

  NOTE: If good vine-ripened tomatoes are not available, substitute
  three 28-ounce cans pear-shaped tomatoes, drained. Another variation
  is to add 1 teaspoon toasted, ground cumin seed to the sauce. Fresh
  serrano or jalapeno chiles may be substituted for the chipotle chiles.
