My Tomato Sauce Recipe

I don't proclaim this to be the best homemade tomato sauce recipe in the world, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. This is not my mother-in-law's recipe, she makes hers with pretty much straight tomatoes, and I like to add lots of other things to mine. I found this on the web and modified it.

TOMATO SAUCE INGREDIENTS:
10 ripe tomatoes
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 tbls olive oil
2 tbls butter
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 cup red wine
2 tbls tomato paste
Salt and Pepper to taste (I put in at least a teaspoon of each)

I MADE A DOUBLE BATCH ON SUNDAY

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Have ready a large bowl of cold water nearby. Core tomatoes and then plunge them into the boiling water until skin starts to peel, about one minute.
Remove tomatoes with slotted spoon and dunk into ice cold water. Let rest until cool enough to handle, then remove peel and squeeze out seeds. Put 8 tomatoes in blender and puree.
Chop 2 remaining tomatoes and set aside. In large pot over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil, and cook onion, pepper, carrot and garlic until onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
Pour in pureed tomatoes.
Stir in chopped basil, chopped tomato, seasonings and wine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 2 hours. Stir in tomato paste and simmer an additional 2 hours. You can leave it chunky, or once it cools you can put the sauce in a blender and puree it so the onion, pepper, carrots, basil, etc. aren't chunky. It's up to you. I pureed mine, but didn't get a picture of it, so here is the chunky sauce in the pot!
