Post Tomato Sauce with no paste?

Calling all chefs! I'm trying to use fresh tomatoes, actually I'm living in Bolivia and can only get fresh tomatoes,no paste or concentrate! How can I thicken a good tomato sauce without paste? When I cook fresh tomatoes my sauce is way too watery. Any recipe Ideas

Do you have a food processor? I used to blend the fresh tomatos with a little olive oil and spicees to taste. then simmer an hour or two,stirring frequently until the sauce is reduced. It will be more concentrated.

Several option:
1. deseed tomatoes.
2, Add vegetables such as carrots or onions then strain or puree.
3. Roast the tomatoes.

If the tomatoes are fresh there's no need for paste. There was a thread about the same subject about a month ago, but I can't remember where.

Let your sauce simmer for a while, uncovered. It should reduce and thicken!
