Canning Tomato Sauce

For Jars Link:
code: RUTH10


We use this sauce as, Pasta Sauce, Pizza Sauce, Tomato Sauce
  Recipe:
2.5 gallons tomato juice
4 green peppers
4-5 large onions (or the equivalent)
4-6 cloves garlic
  I run the raw, cored tomatoes and onions, peppers and garlic through my Vitamix.
Alternately you can cook the tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic and then run them through a food mill like the Victorio strainer or something similar.

Pour your liquid into a large, Heavy bottom stock pot and add:
1 pint olive oil
1.5 TBS Basil
1/2 - 1 cup sugar
1 TBS crushed red pepper
4 Bay leaves
1.5 TBS oregano
3/4 TB Italian seasoning
1.75 TB parsley flakes
1/2 cup salt
2-4 cups tomato paste

Simmer all together until it has reduced and is thick to your liking! Adjust spices to your preference. I simmer for 3-4 hours.
 Ladle into clean jars. Add lids and rings, hot water bath for 10 minutes.
We use this sauce as Spaghetti sauce, add a bit of sugar when we serve it as marinara, we also use it as Pizza sauce and in all other Italian dishes.
