How To Make Basic Tomato Sauce with Fresh Tomatoes
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
If you've been eyeing those gorgeous tomatoes at the farmers market and wondering what it might take to transform them into jars of delicious red sauce, wonder no more. Here is everything you need to know to make a moderate-sized batch of tomato sauce for your pantry (or your freezer!), from picking the right tomatoes to packing the sauce into jars.
Fifteen pounds of fresh tomatoes. One afternoon. Eight pints of sauce. It's go time.
Making tomato sauce isn't very hard, but it's definitely labor intensive. Even the relatively small amount that we're making here — just enough for a few special mid-winter meals — will take you a solid afternoon of work from start to finish. If you want to make a larger batch, give yourself even more time for the project and think about recruiting some extra hands to help you out.
Choosing Tomatoes for Sauce
Any tomato that tastes good to you can be used to make tomato sauce. It's really that simple. Romas and other paste tomatoes are often recommended for canning because they generally have more flesh with less juice and fewer seeds. However, they are smaller (which means more upfront prep work), and I often find that their flavor isn't as good as other tomatoes. I used Big Boy tomatoes — your basic summer slicing tomato — for the batch I made for this post and couldn't be happier. If you like what you start with, you'll like what you finish with.
Another factor to consider is the cost of the tomatoes. Anything much more than a dollar a pound and the cost-effectiveness of this home canning project start to plummet. A friend of mine who tries to can around 180 pounds of tomatoes each summer says that she doesn't pay much attention to the particular tomato variety; she just picks up what she can find for cheap. This often means buying in bulk directly from farms or picking your own — or even better, growing your own if you can!
Making the Sauce
This sauce is the most basic tomato sauce there is — just tomatoes and some lemon juice to bump up the acidity to safe levels for canning. You can add seasonings like garlic, onions, or herbs, but I like the fact that this is a neutral base for whatever recipe I want to make, from weeknight pizzas to a fancy lasagna. Just avoid using oil if you're planning to can your sauce as this can potentially be a source for botulism.
Chunky or Pureed Sauce?
To save ourselves a bit of work, I recommend chopping the tomatoes in a food processor or blender before cooking them. A few pulses will make a chunky sauce and longer processing will make a very smooth sauce. Conversely, if you like a very chunky sauce, skip this step altogether and let the tomatoes break down naturally as they simmer. You can also chop the tomatoes by hand, run them through a food mill, or puree them with a stick blender after they've been cooking.
How Long to Cook the Sauce?
I give a cooking range of 30 minutes to 90 minutes (1 1/2 hour). Shorter cooking times will yield a thinner sauce with a fresher tomato flavor; longer cooking times will thicken your sauce and give it a cooked flavor. Watch your sauce as it simmers and stop cooking when it reaches a consistency and a flavor that you like.
Last Thoughts
If you've never made tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes before, this is a good place to start. The amount isn't overwhelming, but you'll make enough to justify the afternoon. It's also a small enough amount that you can freeze the whole batch if you don't feel like canning it.
Bottom line: grab yourself some tomatoes and make yourself some tomato sauce this weekend. You won't regret it.

Check out this tutorial for making tomato sauce with canned tomatoes:
How To Make Basic Tomato Sauce with Fresh Tomatoes
What You Need
15 pounds ripe tomatoes
1/4 to 1/2 cup lemon juice or red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons salt (optional)
6 1/2-quart or larger Dutch oven or stock pot
Mixing bowls
Slotted spoon
Knife and cutting board
Food processor or blender
Jars for canning or containers for freezing
Peel the tomatoes: Bring a large Dutch oven or stock pot of water to a boil over high heat. Fill a mixing bowl with ice and water and set this next to the stove.
Core out the stems from the tomatoes and slice a shallow "X" in the bottom of each fruit. Working in batches, drop several tomatoes into the boiling water. Cook until you see the skin starting to wrinkle and split, 45 to 60 seconds, then lift the tomatoes out with the slotted spoon and plunge them into the ice water. Continue with the rest of the tomatoes, transferring the cooled tomatoes from the ice water to another mixing bowl as they cool.
When finished, use your hands or a paring knife to strip the skins from the tomatoes. Discard the water used to boil the tomatoes.
Roughly chop the tomatoes: Working in batches, pulse the tomatoes in the food processor. Pulse a few times for chunkier sauce, or process until smooth for a pureed sauce. Transfer each batch into the Dutch oven or stock pot.
Alternatively, chop the tomatoes by hand. Process through a food mill for a smoother sauce.
For a very chunky sauce, skip this stop entirely and let the tomatoes break down into large pieces as they cook.
Simmer the tomatoes: Bring the tomato sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Continue simmering for 30 to 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches the taste and consistency that you like.
Stir in the lemon juice and salt: When finished cooking, stir in the lemon juice or vinegar and salt. A quarter cup is necessary to ensure a safe level of acidity for canning. Add more lemon juice or vinegar to taste.
Preserving Option 1 — Freeze your sauce: Let the sauce cool and then transfer it into freezer containers or freezer bags. Sauce can be kept frozen for at least three months before starting to develop freezer burn or off-flavors.
Preserving Option 2 — Can your sauce: Transfer the hot sauce into sterilized canning jars. Top with new, sterilized lids, and screw on the rings until finger tight. Process in a pot of boiling water for 30 minutes. Let cool completely on the counter — if any lids do not seal completely (the lids will invert and form a vacuum seal), refrigerate that sauce and use it within a week or freeze it for up to three months. Canned tomato sauce can be stored in the pantry for at least a year.

much easier method: wash, core tomatoes. Whiz in food processor, skins and all. Cook down for as long as you want, probably several hours. The skins disappear in the sauce.
"Just avoid using VERY oil if you're planning to can your sauce as this can potentially be a source for botulism."
Hi, quick question about this line. If I wanted to add herbs/onions/garlic... Should I not use ANY oil or just not too much to avoid botulism concerns?
Andrew, if you add any herbs, onions, or garlic, you will change the acidity quite a bit. Only use a tested recipe for canning if you do so, or risk botulism.
I am an experienced canner, and I still find that I sleep well with canning "just" tomatoes and acid, and adding in the rest when I cook.
Is it necessary to add the acid if you're going to freeze the sauce instead of canning it?
Wondering, too, about typo: "Just avoid using VERY oil if you're planning to can your sauce as this can potentially be a source for botulism."
Do you mean avoid using ANY?
Perfect timing for recipe, as I have a serious case of first-time canning fever, and need a new project.
I like to oven roast them, let them cool, skin them, then put them in the food processor and make the sauce from that. I find that the roasting process helps concentrate the flavors. Speaking of concentrating, I will usually go with a very short cooking time - say 15-30 minutes - and add in tomato paste. This helps preverse the very fresh tomato flavor and allow the sauce to thicken nicely. And yes, leave the oil out until you make this into a "real" sauce.
Hi thekitchn: just an observation on posting canning recipes:
While I really enjoyed the recent canning focus, I would feel better if you sited where you got the recipes or general approach, i.e. the Ball Blue Book or other tested sources. I think most people love the thought of canning their own tomatoes and salsas, but these recipes require a level of diligence that jam from acidic fruit does not.
There are plenty of canning recipes on the web that are not tested, and it takes some experience or a pH-meter to be able to tell by reading whether a recipe will be okay.
Additionally, the above recipe does not follow the standard of adding 1/4 tsp citric acid or 1 tbsp bottled lemon juice to a pint jar. (Quarts are double these amounts.) That's the standard that people should use, not a range estimate as shown above.
Marisa - freezing does not require anything special in terms of acidity.
I roast my Roma tomatoes on the bbq before canning them. Not only does it give them a roasty taste, it also concentrates the sugars to make for a sweeter and more intense flavour. You just slice them in half, roast with the skin on, then remove the burnt skin and heat in a pot before canning. Use a standard tomato canning recipe after roasting.
I buy the tomatoes in huge baskets from a country farmer's market (about $10 for 30 lbs). But even at this price it still turns out to be more expensive than store-bought. But they are still much more delicious.
Silly question, I know, but exactly how many tomatoes are in a pound? A few years ago, for my first time canning I chose to can tomatoes. I've since heard that if you're new to canning, you should start with jams or pickles. Live and learn. Anyway, I didn't grow enough tomatoes so I went out and bought the amount I thought I needed to can 7 1-litre jars. I bought about 60 tomatoes. Way too much! That's why I ask my question, how many tomatoes make a pound?
Pound is by weight, so it depends on the size of the tomatoes. Your best bet is to weigh them at the market.
Hi, all! The oil typo is fixed now -- my understanding is that you should avoid using ANY oil when you're planning to can in order to avoid the risk of botulism.
Also, I used Marisa McClellan's Food in Jars and America's Test Kitchen's DIY Cookbook as references for processing times and acidity levels.
I know this is about canning, but another thing you can do is a simple 5 minute tomato sauce.
You simply chop up a coupla tomatoes or so, toss into hot pan with olive oil and garlic, let simmer, add a splash of red wine, Worcestershire sauce if you have them. Next, salt, pepper and use at least basil for flavor and gently stir in the pan for, about 5 minutes.
when done, pour over your cooked pasta and sit down and eat.
This works great with both canned tomatoes, or fresh from the garden and want a quick sauce but don't have any made before hand.
I made a small batch yesterday and it became dinner and never made it to a jar. Yum.
Just to confirm, I'll be free from botulism if I plan to freeze, rather than can, right?
@DnK -- Yup! You'll be fine.
The acid level of the sauce depends on the variety of the tomatoes. I grow my own and don't use pesticides, but still, I only use perfect tomatoes and I wash them in soapy water and rinse, rinse, rinse. I too just core and use the tomato plus skins, processing them in the food processor.
Unlike the recipe above, I take the processed tomatoes and seive them first, removing the seeds. A food mill is probably faster, but I can sit and seive with a soft spatula without looking, and the cleanup is easier.
If you want a chunkier sauce, peel the tomatoes, cut them in half horizontally and gently squeeze out most of the seeds. Then do a rough chop and cook.
Most varieties of tomatoes have adequate acidity, but there are varieties that purposefully are less acidic. Also, overly ripe tomatoes may also have a lower acidity.
Use extreme caution when adding garlic to a sauce that will be canned. Because garlic is grown in contact with soil, there is a danger of botulism. Instead, use garlic powder/ granuals because these have been heat treated and the threat of botulism is nil.
Last night I canned 14 pints of spicy tomato sauce for Mexican recipes! It sure helps to have an audiobook running on the computer to listen to while waiting for the sauce to thicken.....
If you just have a few tomatoes to skin, do what my late Grandmother did: gently run the blade of a knife over the surface of the tomato -- you will be able to see a faint change in color -- then prick the skin at the base, and then peel the tomato using the blade on the inner side of the skin with your thumb on the outside of the skin. Easy peasy!
Do you need to freeze canned tomato sauce if you didn't add lemon juice or vinegar? I just made it a couple days ago.
If one wants to be sure, boil 'em after opening. There are said to be low acid varieties that need the acid level raised. That said, I've canned without vinegar or lemon juice for decades and while I don't want to kill anyone, I still don't use additional stuff. According to a conversation with Utah State University Extension guy, "normal" tomatoes can have some onions and peppers added and still be boiling water bath processed.
This is NOT what their official publications will tell you...
Here is a link to more: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/tomato/msg081645247923.html
A bit more research led to http://pendleton.ext.wvu.edu/r/download/83631, West Virginia Extension Service. They note 4.6 level will not support bacteria, when using boiling water bath. They also say, "To ensure safe acidity in whole, crushed, or juiced tomatoes, add two tablespoons of bottled lemon juice or ½ teaspoon of citric acid per quart of tomatoes." Citric acid has less flavor I've heard. The most important things seem to be to avoid fruit from dead vines, over-ripe and spoiled fruit. The greener the more acid.

Hi ...I have a question... my friend told me to use a pressure cooker to make the basic stewed tomoatos and then to cook and can each batch differently... .e.g. make sausage and tomato sauce, basil and onion, mushroom etc...
Anyway, when I did it this way I ended up with loads of tomatoey water... What should I do with that.
Yeah I've thought about using it to cook rice, putting it in soup base, and cookin bread and rolls with it. But is there anything I should be using it for re: my sauce or any other suggestions??
any tips on slow cooker based tomato sauces (plan to freeze)
I can't wait to make some sauce and can/freeze it. Our garden has gone wild! I do have one question. I have what seems like a ton of Lemonboy Heirloom tomatoes. Would those be good to turn into a canned sauce? I know they seem less acidic and aren't packed with a hearty flavor. If anyone has an input that would be great! Thanks!
I never thought to add lemon juice but sounds like a fantastic idea!
I love adding basil at the end too!

Thanks BRS Works great By Shawna on 5/1/2014 Shawna would recommend this product to a friend We live where the water is so hard its almost chunky. 0 TDS coming out of this system every time. We run our water once a week and make about 20 gallons at a time. Hooked it up to the washing machine water faucet with a Y connector and mounted it on the garage wall. Couldn't be happier! Wonderful investment By Eric on 4/18/2014 Eric would recommend this product to a friend After reviewing many RO/DI systems online, I opted to purchase this one, and I cannot be more pleased. Very easy to set up (especially with the "how to" videos on Bulk Reef). I needed to purchase an adapter for my sink where I chose to install it. Works wonderfully. Originally the PSI was only around 35, so I did also purchase a booster pump from Bulk Reef to increase the PSI to a more proper and efficient level to produce more RO water and to maximize the DI use. Depending on your personal set up choice and the water pressure in your home, you may not need to purchase an additional booster pump. If you are a serious about this hobby an RO/DI system is a must in my opinion. What would I do without this?!?! Get one now! By MatraD on 4/8/2014 MatraD would recommend this product to a friend What a set up - when compared to what's on the market, the quality of this product, ease to maintain, knowledge from BRS all make it a must have. Just keep it clean to make sure it's optimal all the time! Great unit. Functional By Rafael on 4/8/2014 Rafael would recommend this product to a friend Had to buy adapter for kitchen sink but. Work we'll for first try. Excellent By KEVIN on 4/2/2014 KEVIN would recommend this product to a friend Works great and very easy to set up and get going Love this product By Nicholas on 3/25/2014 Nicholas would recommend this product to a friend This product is awesome! i have had it for about a year now and still it is working very well. I would recommnd this to any reefer. great product By Scott on 3/24/2014 Scott would recommend this product to a friend started reefing over 10 years ago and always bought my RO water from my LFS which is about 30 min away. finally decided to break down and buy one. did a lot of reviewing and found BRS to have the best deal. Bought the 5 stage+, set it up in my basement with a 35gal brute barrel, and love it. Should have done it 10 years ago. the money saved on gas has payed for this 3 times already. Fantastic! By Steve on 3/19/2014 Steve would recommend this product to a friend I've been nothing but impressed with this unit - it produces perfect water quicker than I can use it, the quality is great and the service from BRS is tops. I added a drinking water set up and hooked it into my refrigerator as well. If you need an RO/DI system (and if you have a reef tank - YOU DO!) then you absolutely will be happy with this system. Best Investment Ever By Jabaar on 3/19/2014 Jabaar would recommend this product to a friend I use to go to the LFS to get water. Why would you with RODI systems out affordable. For my 65 gal this is perfect. to have back up RODI for ATO, water for salt mix, water to have just for rinsing off tank supplies, and not to mention RO for drinking water. It just paid for it self the first week. No more going to store and back, loading for store to car, from car to home... Need I say more. Great RODI system By Michael F. on 3/18/2014 Michael F. would recommend this product to a friend I have had this system now for about 9 months. It is very economical to run and produces absolutely 0 TDS water for my reef tank. The refills for the DI is what I most commonly need to replace due to South Florida tap water being horrible and I recommend keeping a couple in reserve for easy replacement. I would absolutely recommend this for any fish tank enthusiast. Great RODI system By Tripp on 3/13/2014 Tripp would recommend this product to a friend I have had several RO systems over the years and I have to say that the quality of the 5 stage kit from BRS is top notch!!! The systems may appear to be slightly higher in cost compared to others offered on ebay and such however the quality of the parts and fittings is definitely noticeable. This system comes with absolutely everything you would need to get it installed quickly with many fitting options for your supply water source and the pressure gauge and TDS meter is great! If this system fits into your buget grab one and you will not regret. The best By derek on 3/9/2014 derek would recommend this product to a friend Very happy with brs. and all of the products! Thank You BRS!!! By SeanB on 3/5/2014 SeanB would recommend this product to a friend I received my order yesturday with a bunch of new stuff and, of coarse, The 5 Stage Plus RO/DI system. I was very impressed with the level of education, training, support and advice that you provide here. I have to say that BRS is, by far, the most customer friendly retail store i have ever had the pleasure to spend my money at. And im not just talking about Reef or aquarium supplies!!!!! After being out of the hobby for over 25 years, and coming back into now, with this level of technology and learning curve, you folks at BRS really go many steps beyond what someone would expect from a retailer. From your newletters, to your product reviews, your Q&As and your informational series on BRStv to the attention to details found on your website, and the product documentation that came with my BRS items. I truly feal that you folks are looking out for me, will not let me fail, and could teach other compainies a thing or two about what to do to earn business and RESPECT! Thank you very much. I know my oly experience with BRS is a bunch of keystrokes and my iPad speakers. I somehow you have me feel like i am your friend in a great hobby!!! Thanks again!!! SeanB Great bang for your buck By Craig on 3/2/2014 Craig would recommend this product to a friend Have been using this unit for a while now with no problems! Perfect for my nano tank. Great Unit By Samuel on 3/1/2014 Samuel would recommend this product to a friend My Kent unit finally died a couple of weeks ago and I purchased the new BRS 5 stage reactor. I am really enjoying the new TDS meter that came with it. great buy By harry on 2/26/2014 harry would recommend this product to a friend solid build quality. looks great packaging was ups prof. plug and play was making water in 15 min. Good product. By joshua on 2/24/2014 joshua would recommend this product to a friend Came with broken pressure gage. Called and sent me a new one right away. Also 0 tds after Di chamber MUST HAVE!! By Matt on 2/17/2014 Matt would recommend this product to a friend Definitely would recommend a RO/DI unit for anyone in the hobby. When I first started, the first thing I was told was to go get an RO/DI unit, as it will pay itself off in no time. No lugging water/water jugs back and forth from the local fish store. I currently have a 75 gallon reef and it makes plenty of water to keep up with everything in a short amount of time. Great product By Miguel on 2/17/2014 Miguel would recommend this product to a friend works very well, the material it is made of good quality Very good reliable product worth every penny! By its_so_zeoful on 2/17/2014 its_so_zeoful would recommend this product to a friend Finally bought a water system for my tank and let me tell you, what an awesome buy. Has not broken down or anything. Also, it produces water fast enough for my needs. No more lugging 5 gallon jugs By Mark on 2/11/2014 Mark would recommend this product to a friend Carrying jugs back and forth between the LFS and home sucks, so that was my main reason to get it. I also got the faucet/tank add-on kit so my family can enjoy clean drinking water too (well, it was a good excuse to my wife to get it). The plumbing is so easy to put together, as all the connections/valves slip onto the water lines. Nothing at all to complain about, and all positive. Had is for 2 years now, and haven't had to change the filters yet.... Slow, but works really well By Kelly on 2/10/2014 Kelly would recommend this product to a friend I rate this a 4 and not a 5 because it is extremely slow out the box. But on the same note, it's ready to go without buying anything else. The meter is not only cool, but accurate. Good product all around ( minus mentioned problem). Beats going to the lfs or grocery store. great unit By George on 2/9/2014 George would recommend this product to a friend This is my first rodi unit. I have been thinking of getting one since I started my reef tank a year and a half ago.after doing a lot of research this was the best unit for the money it was easy installation I had it installed in about 5 minutes I will definitely use bulk reef supply in the future Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: BRS 5 Stage PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?

Russia corruption,Power Vertical podcast
In this space, I will regularly comment on events in Russia, repost content and tweets I find interesting and informative, and shamelessly promote myself (and others, whose work I like). The traditional Power Vertical Blog remains for larger and more developed items. The Podcast, of course, will continue to appear every Friday. I hope you find the new Power Vertical Feed to be a useful resource and welcome your feedback.
Good morning. The Power Vertical Feed is back in action today after a couple days off. I just returned from the Transatlantic Security Symposium in Rome.
THE POWER VERTICAL PODCAST IS OUT: Ukraine's Loyalist Russians
I just posted a new piece on the Power Vertical blog: Putin's Class of 2014.
The iPhone-toting hipsters hanging out in their trendy downtown Moscow office are just the high-profile part of the Kremlin's new youth strategy.
Founded in November 2013, the youth group Set -- which means "Network" in Russian -- has organized patriotic fashion shows and film festivals, created an alphabet for schoolchildren that highlights the regime's accomplishments, and painted murals in seven cities on October 7 to mark Russian President Vladimir Putin's 62nd birthday....
But the rise of Set is just one side of the story. The other aspect of the Kremlin's youth strategy is stealthier -- and much more consequential.
Over the past 18 months, Putin has been quietly bringing a new cadre of officials to Moscow, reshaping the rank-and-file bureaucracy in his own image.
You can read it all here.
We're in post-production for the new Power Vertical Podcast: Ukraine's Loyal Russians
A country divided between a Ukrainian-speaking west and a Russian-speaking east. An irreconcilable schism forged in history and set in stone. Lviv vs. Luhansk; Orange vs. Blue.
It's long been a truism that Ukraine was hopelessly split. It's a truism repeated endlessly by the Kremlin's propaganda machine -- and one used by Vladimir Putin to justify his Novorossiya project.
But it's a truism that the majority of Ukraine's ethnic Russians -- in cities like Odesa and Mariupol in the south to Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia in the east to Kharkiv in the north -- are proving false. Most of Ukraine's ethnic Russians, it turns out, are loyal Ukrainian citizens.
Joining me are Andreas Umland, a professor of Russian and Ukrainian history at Kyiv Mohyla University and Natalya Churikova, Senior Editor of RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service. It's in post-production now and will be up soon.
Some items from RFE/RL's News Desk:
By RFE/RL
Italy's prime minister said he was "really positive" about the prospects for a solution to the Ukraine conflict after a meeting attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and European leaders, but the Kremlin suggested deep rifts remained after the "difficult" talks and accused Western officials of inflexibility.
"In general, I am really positive after this meeting," Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said after the talks over breakfast during a Europe-Asia summit that was overshadowed by the crisis in Ukraine, where deadly fighting persists in the east despite a cease-fire between government forces and pro-Russian separatists.
Putin, in the spotlight and under pressure from the West to do more to bring peace to Ukraine, said the meeting -- attended by Putin and Poroshenko as well as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, and outgoing EU leaders Herman Van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso -- was "good, positive".
But his spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, gave a grimmer account.
"The talks are indeed difficult, full of misunderstandings, disagreements, but they are nevertheless ongoing, an exchange of opinion is in progress," Peskov told reporters.
He said some participants displayed "a complete lack of desire to take an objective approach" to the Ukraine crisis, which Russia blames on the European Union, the United States, and the pro-Western government that gained power in Ukraine after the ouster of a president sympathetic to Russia, Viktor Yanukovych, In February.
Kyiv, NATO, and Western governments say Russia has supported the rebels with troops, weaponry, and propaganda after illegally annexing the Black Sea peninsula from Ukraine in March.
The conflict in eastern Ukraine has killed more than 3,660 combatants and civilians since April and driven Moscow's ties with the West to post-Cold War lows, prompting punitive sanctions against Moscow and a Russian ban on many foods from the EU, its biggest trading partner for years.
The breakfast-table talks came hours after lengthy Putin-Merkel meeting that stretched past midnight and failed to resolve what the Kremlin said were "serious differences of opinion about the genesis of the internal Ukrainian conflict as well as about the causes of what is happening there now."
Western leaders have rejected Russia's denials of involvement and said Moscow must see to it that a cease-fire and steps toward peace agreed on September 5 in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, are implemented.
"It is obviously above all Russia's task to make clear that the Minsk plan is adhered to," Merkel told reporters on October 16. "Unfortunately, there are still a lot of shortcomings but it will be important to look for a dialogue here."
British Prime Minister David Cameron said Putin assured the other leaders at the breakfast that Russia does not want a divided Ukraine or a frozen crisis.
Kremlin critics say Russia has supported the cease-fire and plans for peace because the September 5 agreement followed rebel gains that left the separatists in control over large portions of Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions, giving Moscow a lever to influence its France-sized neighbor and keep it destabilized - and out of NATO - for years to come.
Putin and Poroshenko were to meet with Merkel and Hollande later on October 17.
Putin, who basked in attention at a military parade in mostly Slavic, Orthodox Christian Serbia on October 16, set the stage for tense talks in Milan by warning in Belgrade that a dispute with Kyiv over natural gas could jeopardize Russian supplies to Europe via transit nation Ukraine this winter.
He said Europe faces "major transit risks" to gas supplies from Russia.
Blaming Kyiv in advance for any possible cuts in supplies to Europe, Putin said that if Ukraine siphons gas from transit pipelines to the European Union, Russia will reduce supplies in the amount of the "stolen" gas.
Russia raised the price it charges Kyiv for natural gas after Yanukovych was ousted by street protests he had touched off last November by scrapping plans for a deal tightening ties with the EU and turning toward Russia instead.
In June, Russia halted gas supplies meant for domestic consumption in Ukraine when Kyiv failed to pay the higher price.
Russia is the EU's biggest external gas supplier, providing about one-third of the gas consumed there, and previous price disputes between Moscow and Kyiv have led to supply cuts that have chilled Europeans in wintertime.
Some government officials said the Western leaders would ask Putin to explain the threat of gas supply cuts.
Merkel and Poroshenko held talks earlier on October 16, and Poroshenko said he received "a great demonstration of support for Ukraine" from the German leader.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin also met with former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, whom he referred to as Putin's "old friend."
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said he spoke briefly to Putin and asked him for "maximum cooperation" over the downing of a Malaysian Airlines passenger jet in the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine in July.
More than half of the 298 people killed were Dutch citizens, and many in the West suspect the plane was shot down by the separatists with a missile system provided by Russia.
Hundreds of people have been killed since the cease-fire, with fierce fighting focusing on the devastated Donetsk international airport and shelling reported in the city of Donetsk and elsewhere almost daily.
Ukrainian military officials said three soldiers were killed and nine wounded on October 16.
NATO said it has not yet detected "significant" movements of Russian troops in a region near the border with Ukraine back to their home bases, as the Kremlin said Putin ordered last week.
A NATO spokesperson said "there is still a large and capable force sitting on the border of Ukraine, and heavy equipment still has to be pulled back [from the border]."

Georgian Prime Minister Irakly Garibashvili says attempts by Tbilisi to normalize political relations with Russia have thus far been unsuccessful.
Garibashvili said in Tbilisi on October 16 that the Georgian government had done "all it could" to improve bilateral relations with Moscow has only achieved progress in the economic sector.
The premier's Georgian Dream party took power two years ago pledging to engage with Moscow.
Garibashvili made his comments one day after Russia announced it would sign an "alliance and integration" treaty with the breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia.
The treaty would create a "common defense infrastructure" between Abkhazia and Russia while forming joint law-enforcement structures and a more integrated economic space.
Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili issued an "emergency statement" on the treaty on October 15.
Moscow recognized Abkhazia as an independent state after a brief war between Russia and Georgia in 2008.

Russian officials temporarily detained and then banned two American journalists from conducting an investigative-journalism workshop in St. Petersburg.
The men were found by a court on October 16 of violating Russian visa regulations and released after several hours.
Randy Covington, a professor at the University of South Carolina, and Joe Bergantino of the New England Center for Investigative Reporting were detained by immigration authorities while conducting the first of a two-day workshop for 14 Russian journalists.
St. Petersburg's branch of the Federal Migration Service said the men's activities "did not correspond" to the purpose of their trip to Russia.
Officials said they could no longer teach the workshop but were free to leave Russia as scheduled.
The New England Center for Investigative Journalism said the men had tourist visas and had already held a workshop in Moscow.

Apologies for the light posting today. I'm writing a piece for the Power Vertical Blog and prepping for today's Podcast.
Some items from RFE/RL's Newes Desk:
President Vladimir Putin has warned that Europe faces "major transit risks" to natural gas supplies from Russia this winter.
Putin told reporters in Belgrade on October 16 that if Ukraine siphons off natural gas without permission from transit pipelines to the European Union, Russia "will consecutively reduce the stolen volume at the cost of supplies."
Putin made the remarks ahead of talks in Milan on October 16 and 17 with EU leaders and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.
Russia raised the price it charges Kyiv for natural gas after Ukraine's pro-Russia Preident Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in February, then halted gas supplies to Ukraine in June when Kyiv failed to pay the higher price.
The price standoff is the third between Moscow and Kyiv since 2006.
Russia is the EU's biggest gas supplier, providing about a third of the gas consumed there.
(Based on reporting by Reuters, AP, and AFP)
The U.S. Helsinki Commission says Russia's attempt to liquidate Memorial, the country's oldest and best-known human rights organization, is "an obvious attempt to silence the voice of its own conscience."
"It is very troubling that an organization founded by [Soviet dissident] Andrei Sakharov to address the crimes of the Stalinist era now has become the target of a new wave of repression," the commission's chairman, U.S. Senator Ben Cardin, said in an October 16 statement.
Russia's Justice Ministry on October 10 appealed to the country's Supreme Court to close Memorial, which comprises more than 50 bodies nationwide. The reasons for the request were not made public.
Created in the 1980s by Soviet-era dissidents, Memorial has served as a tireless rights watchdog and important source of Soviet-era records for a quarter century.
Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged continued support for Serbia on the divisive issue of Kosovo during a state visit that mixed meetings with officials with attendance at a military parade.
Putin is the guest of honor at Serbia's first military parade in some 30 years as Belgrade marks the anniversary of its liberation from the Nazis by partisans and Soviet Army troops in 1944, a celebration Serbia moved forward four days to accommodate Putin's schedule.
The visit highlights Serbia's delicate balance between the European Union, which it is seeking to join, and relations with Russia that are rooted in history and religion but encompass economic and geopolitical interests.
Russia angrily criticized the NATO bombing of the rump Yugoslavia in 1999 and has backed Belgrade's opposition to independence for mostly ethnic Albanian Kosovo, defying the United States and preventing Kosovo from getting a seat at the United Nations.
Putin promised Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic that Russia would stand firm over Kosovo, saying the Kremlin's stance was "a position of principle that is not to be subjected to any adjustments."
"We supported Serbia in the past and we intend to continue supporting it in the future. In Russia friendship is not an object of trade-offs," Putin said.
Nikolic said Serbia "sees in Russia a great ally and a partner and Serbia won't compromise its morals with any kind of bad behavior towards Russia."
Despite Serbia's desire to become a member of the European Union, ties between Belgrade and Moscow have become stronger since the EU started imposing sanctions on Russia for the Kremlin's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula and support for separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Criticizing sanctions the United States and European Union have imposed on Moscow over its actions in Ukraine in an interview on the eve of his visit, Putin told the Serbian daily "Politika" that isolating Russia was an "absurd, illusory goal" and attempts to do so would hurt Europe's economy.
In a pointed reminder of Russia's nuclear might, Putin said: "We hope our partners will realize the futility of attempts to blackmail Russia and remember what consequences discord between major nuclear powers could bring for strategic stability."
Putin used the visit to promote South Stream, a Russian gas pipeline project that that the EU has suspended in member states.
Serbia has recently indicated it will not start building South Stream. Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said last week "it makes no sense" to start without an agreement on the pipeline's legality between the EU and Moscow.
"It is necessary to unblock the situation with South Stream," Putin said. "I am convinced that this project will make a palpable contribution to Europe's overall energy security. Everyone wins from this: Both Russia and European consumers, including Serbia."
The European Commission released a report on candidate countries earlier this month that warned Belgrade's plans to build a portion of the pipeline and its refusal to follow the EU's lead on sanctions against Russia could jeopardize Serbia's bid for EU membership.
Serbia has recently indicated it will not start building South Stream. Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said last week "it makes no sense" to start without an agreement on the pipeline's legality between the EU and Moscow.Serbia has recently indicated it will not start building South Stream.
Putin told "Politika" the pipeline project would bring Serbia more than 2 million euros in new investment and "substantially strengthen the country's energy security."
Putin's warm Serbian welcome may contrast with greeting he faces hours later at an October 16-17 Europe-Asia summit in Milan, where he will meet Western leaders angry over Russia's role in the Ukraine crisis.
NATO says Russian has sent troops and weapons to help pro-Russian separatists fighting government forces in a conflict that has killed more than 3,660 people in eastern Ukraine since April, including 298 passengers and crew abroad a Malaysian jet shot down there in July.
Putin said the importance of the liberation anniversary events could not be overestimated.
"Seventy years ago, our peoples together crushed the criminal ideology of misanthropy that threatened civilization," he said in the interview.
In a veiled swipe at the United States, he said "it is important today that people in various countries, on various continents remember what terrible consequences certainty in one's own exceptionalism can bring."
Putin said he hopes for peace in Ukraine but suggested Ukrainians whose protests toppled a president sympathetic to Moscow in February presented a Nazi-like threat.
"Unfortunately the vaccine against the Nazi virus ... is losing its potency in some European states.," he told "Politika," adding: "particular concern on this score is prompted by the situation in Ukraine, where there was an anticonstitutional coup d'etat in February whose driving forces were nationalists and other radical groups."
In comments to RFE/RL's Balkan Service, Vucic pointed to the complications his country is facing as it balances its foreign policy between the EU and Russia.
"We are not part of the EU and nobody asked us about sanctions against Russia so why should we have to accept them now?" Vucic asked.
Vucic said Serbia respects what EU stands for and what EU membership offers but rejects Brussels' recent habit of telling Belgrade about changes it must make to be admitted.
However, he told reporters last week that Serbia's "strategic goal is not in question – Serbia is on the EU path."
That may not always be evident to the naked eye.
In anticipation of Putin's visit, shops around Belgrade have been selling T-shirts with Putin's face printed on them.
"Nothing better could happen to us," Belgrade resident Vukan Baricanin, a retired economist, said of Putin's visit. "Putin is a famous personality. He turned a country that was on the verge of bankruptcy into a world power."
But Dragan Sutanovac, Serbia's defense minister between 2007 and 2012, denounced "a desire for idolatry in regard to Putin."

Russian Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, Andrei Krutko, has protested the new "Putin Pub" restaurant in Bishkek.
Krutko said late October 15 that naming "a dubious drinking site" after "our president" is "unethical" and therefore he asked Bishkek authorities to remove the commercial banners and billboards advertising the pub.
Krutko added that he would do everything possible "either to shut down the place or to make it change its name."
Last month, Bishkek authorities removed all billboards and banners in the city that advertised the "Putin Pub."
The billboards carried a black screen with white and black silhouetted portrait of the Russian President Vladimir Putin in a circle with the name of the restaurant -- "Putin Pub," below.

VIa slon.ru:
Ukraine's Security Service has urged Ukrainians not to use Russian social networks.
Markiian Lubkovsky, an adviser to the Interior Minister told the television channel "112 Ukraine" that the site "VKontakte" is an "element of pressure and influence."
"We urge all Ukrainians, all of our citizens to be careful not to use these networks, because they are now part of the information war against Ukraine," he said.

According to a report in Bloomberg, Kremlin-connected oligarchs are plotting to take over "Vedomosti," one of Russia's few remaining independent newspapers -- one that has been a pathbreaker in the field of economic journalism and data-driven investigative reporting.
Businessmen close to President Vladimir Putin are preparing to acquire Vedomosti, the largest Russian newspaper outside the Kremlin's control, three people familiar with the matter said.
Putin signed a law yesterday capping foreign holdings in media at 20 percent, meaning the owners of the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times, co-founders of the newspaper, must cut or sell their 33 percent stakes by the end of 2016. The third owner, Sanoma Oyj (SAA1V), is in talks to sell its Russian assets.
Under a plan backed by the presidential administration, an intermediary may be used to acquire all three stakes to make the deal more palatable politically before a group loyal to Putin buys the whole newspaper, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. The eventual owner will probably be either Gazprom-Media, an affiliate of the state-run gas exporter, or companies linked to longtime Putin ally Yury Kovalchuk, they said.
"The Kremlin sees Vedomosti's shareholders as foreign governments," the newspaper's editor-in-chief, Tatiana Lysova, said in an interview. "The WSJ equals the U.S. and the FT the U.K. They want a Russian owner so they have someone to call."

Simon Shuster has a dispatch in Time Magazine about the plight of the gay and lesbian community in Crimea after the Russian annexation.
For the gay community in Crimea, the most worrying piece of legislation was the Russian ban on "homosexual propaganda," which Putin signed in 2012. Although the law is billed as an effort to protect Russian children from learning about "non-traditional sexual relationships," its critics say the law encourages homophobia, signaling to Russians that gays are somehow inferior and should not be allowed to insist on their equality in public.
Since March, the new leaders of Crimea have embraced these principles with gusto.
Read it all here.
Crimea's Moscow-backed leader Sergei Aksyonov has admitted that four Crimean Tatars are missing on the annexed peninsula.
Aksyonov said on October 16 that the missing Crimean Tatars had not been abducted, adding that some of them "had fought in Syria."
Aksyonov's statement comes amid media reports saying that several Crimean Tatars disappeared in recent days, some of them allegedly kidnapped by unknown men in military uniform.
At least three Crimean Tatar men have been found dead since Moscow's annexation of the peninsula from Ukraine in March.
Pressure on Crimean Tatars, the Turkic-speaking Muslim minority group that largely opposed the annexation, has increased in recent weeks.
In mid-September, Russian authorities seized the Crimean Tatar assembly, the Mejlis, and searched homes of leading members of the Tatar community.

Six suspected members of a banned Islamic movement went on trial in the Russian city of Perm on October 16.
Local authorities say the defendants are members of an organization called Nurcular. The seventh member of the group has received a suspended one-year term in June.
In May last year several alleged members of Nurcular were arrested in Perm, near the Ural mountains east of Moscow; St. Petersburg; and the southern city of Rostov-on-Don.
Nurcular was founded by Turkish Islamic cleric Said Nursi, who died in 1960.
It has been banned in Russia since 2008.
Authorities say it propagates the idea of creating an Islamic state on lands where indigenous peoples speak Turkic languages.

Russia will allot some 3.3 trillion rubles (about $80 billion) from the state budget for defense spending in 2015, according to the chairman of the defense committee in the State Duma, the lower house of parliament.
Vladimir Komoyedov told Russian news agency Interfax on October 16 defense spending for next year would be some $20 billion more than this year, but he added that his committee foresees slight reductions in spending for 2016 and 2017.
Komoyedov said the amount to be spent on defense in 2015 was some 4.2% of Russia's GDP.
Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said on October 7 that Russia's defense spending plans needed to be "more realistic" in light of international sanctions imposed on Russia over its actions in Ukraine.
A three-year draft budget reportedly calls for a 5.3 percent cut in defence spending in 2016, the first reduction since 1998.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised Moscow's "Serbian friends" and lashed out at the West in remarks published ahead of a state visit to Belgrade on October 16.
Criticizing sanctions the United States and European Union have imposed on Moscow over its actions in Ukraine, Putin told the Serbian daily "Politika" that isolating Russia was an "absurd, illusory goal" and that attempts to do so could severely damage Europe's economy.
Putin is to attend Serbia's first military parade in some 30 years as Belgrade marks the anniversary of its liberation from the Nazis in 1944, a celebration Serbia moved forward four days to accommodate Putin's schedule.
"Seventy years ago, our peoples together crushed the criminal ideology of misanthropy that threatened civilization," said Putin.
Putin did not mention the United States, but a speech in May in which President Barack Obama said he believes in "American exceptionalism" raised hackles in Russia.
The Belgrade visit is likely to shower Putin with positive attention before he faces Western leaders angry over Russia's role in the Ukraine crisis at an October 16-17 Europe-Asia summit in Milan.
Soviet Army troops helped Yugoslav partisans liberate Belgrade and Serbian officials have welcomed Putin's decision to attend the parade.
More recently, Russia gave Serbia moral support by angrily criticizing the NATO bombing of the rump Yugoslavia in 1999 and backed Belgrade's opposition to independence for mostly ethnic Albanian Kosovo, which has been recognized by the United States but not by Moscow and has been unable to get a seat at the United Nations.
The two mostly Slavic nations are linked by the Orthodox Christian faith and Russia has championed the rights of Serbs in ethnically mixed Bosnia.
"We have joint roots, language, faith, customs and culture," Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic told Russian television before the visit. "In all wars we were always on the same side."
Putin is due to meet with Nikolic and Prime Minister Aleksandr Vucic for talks on military cooperation and economic ties, including Serbia's participation in Russia's South Stream gas pipeline project, which the EU has suspended in member states.
The European Commission released a report on candidate countries earlier this month that warned Belgrade's plans to build a portion of the South Stream pipeline and its refusal to follow the EU's lead on sanctions against Russia could jeopardize Serbia's bid for EU membership.
In the "Politika" interview, Putin promoted the South Stream project, saying its implementation would bring Serbia more than 2 million euros in new investment and "substantially strengthen the country's energy security."
Putin said the volume of trade between Russia and Serbia had risen by 15 percent last year, to nearly $2 billion, and that he expects it to reach that mark this year.
Vucic pointed out that within the EU there are five countries that have not recognized the independence of Serbia's former republic of Kosovo.
However, he told reporters last week that "Putin will hear that Serbia is on the European path. We have other relations we are developing with the Russian Federation, but the strategic goal is not in question – Serbia is on the EU path."
In anticipation of the Russian leader's visit, shops around Belgrade have been selling T-shirts with Putin's face printed on them.
People around the city pointed to the long friendship between Serbs and Russians as reason to welcome Russia's leader.
Belgrade resident Vukan Baricanin, a retired economist, welcomed Putin's visit.
"Nothing better could happen to us. Putin is a famous personality. He turned a country that was on the verge of bankruptcy into a world power."
But Dragan Sutanovac, who was Serbia's defense minister between 2007 and 2012, denounced "a desire for idolatry in regard to Putin."
Construction engineer Predrag Markovic saw it as natural that Putin would attend a celebration marking the liberation of Belgrade.
"We wouldn't mind if other leaders came too, but I think that Russia and the former Soviet Union were the most important in the liberation of Belgrade."
Slobodan Knezevic said Putin's attendance at the anniversary was appropriate.
"It is really a good that they invited the Russians and Putin. Serbia should thank them for many things. They were always helping us, but it doesn't mean that we have to stand only by their side. But it is great that they invited them."

NATO's top military commander says the alliance has not seen "major movement" so far of Russian troops from a region bordering eastern Ukraine.
On October 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered about 17,600 Russian troops to return to their bases after what Moscow described as training drills in the southern Rostov region.
U.S. Air Force General Philip Breedlove, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, told AP news agency on October 15, "Now we will watch to see if there is delivery on the promise."
NATO has refuted previous Russian claims of troop withdrawals from the regions bordering eastern Ukraine, where separatists have been battling government troops since April.
Moscow has consistently denied Ukrainian and Western allegations that it has deployed Russian troops and heavy military equipment in eastern Ukraine to support pro-Russian separatists there.

The house arrest of an associate of outspoken Kremlin critic Aleksei Navalny has been extended.
A court in Moscow ruled on October 15 that Konstantin Yankauskas's house arrest must be prolonged until December 10.
Yankauskas was placed under house arrest on June 11. The previous term was to expire on October 17.
Yankauskas and two other Navalny associates, Nikolai Lyaskin and Vladimir Ashurkov, are accused of election-law violations and fraud related to funding of Navalny's campaign for Moscow mayor last year.
Yankauskas calls the case politically motivated.
Navalny and his brother Oleg have been accused of stealing and laundering $756,500 from the French cosmetics company Yves Rocher.
Navalny, a leader of anti-government protests in 2011-2012, is also serving a five-year suspended sentence on a $500,000 theft conviction.
He calls all the cases against him politically motivated.
The vast majority of Ukraine's ethnic Russians are, in fact, loyal Ukrainian...
Moscow initially tried to woo and co-opt Crimea's Tatar community. But when that...

About Producer
Bruce Brown's first film Barefoot Adventure established him as a major player in the genre. His footage was solid, his editing good too, but what set his films apart were his original jazz soundtracks by Bud Shank and Brown's casual narrative style seemed to embody all that was truely cool about surfing and surfers. He followed with Slippery When Wet in '61, Waterlogged in '62, Surfing Hollow Days in '63, then in 1964 Bruce released The Endless Summer which was to become the most popular and widely seen surf film of all-time.
