One taste of this homemade pasta sauce, and you won't be tempted to use the store-bought sauce again! Use in place of tomato or spaghetti sauce all year long. Ingredients:
11 pounds tomatoes, chopped |
2 green peppers, chopped |
1 1/2 onions, chopped |
1 (24-oz.) can tomato paste |
1 cup vegetable oil |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup canning salt |
2 cloves garlic, chopped |
2 bay leaves |
1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil |
1 tablespoon dried parsley |
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano |
4 (1-qt.) canning jars and lids, sterilized |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, divided |
Directions:
1. Process tomatoes, green peppers and onions in batches in a blender, add to a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, boil gently for one hour. Stir in tomato paste and next 8 ingredients; boil one more hour. Remove and discard bay leaves.
2. Spoon into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Add one tablespoon balsamic vinegar to each jar. Remove air bubbles, wipe jar trims. Cover at once with metal lids and screw on bands. Process in a boiling water bath 20 minutes; set jars on a towel to cool.
