Boil 6 cups of water in large Dutch oven or pot

Combine ice and cold water in a mixing bowl

Slice a ¼-inch deep X on every tomato before putting them into the boiling water

Cook for 2-3 minutes until the skin starts to wrinkle and split (don’t overcook or they will become too mushy)

Put tomatoes in the ice water bowl right away for 3 to 5 minutes 

Next put the tomatoes on your cutting board and chop into half inch chunks - throw away the cores and cores

Then scoop the tomato chunks and juices into your pot or Dutch oven

Add in the hemp seeds, olive oil, shallots, garlic, salt, and sugar

Simmer for 2 hours

Stir and mash occasionally during the simmer process

mix in the basil at the last few minutes
