Marinara Sauce
A good way to can your tomatoes
1 1/4 finely chopped onions
1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery
1 cup finely chopped carrots
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
8 lbs ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
In a large pot cook onion, celery and carrots in the oil until tender-around 20 minutes.
Stir a few times.
Add garlic and cook for 2 more minute.
Add tomatoes, sugar and pepper and stir.
Put through a food mill if you would like smooth sauce-whirl in a processor if you dont have a mill.
Add remaining seasonings except salt and cook to desired consistency.
Add salt, remove bay leaf.
Pack into clean hot jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.
Process for 45 minutes water bath canner
There is no set amount of what your yield is as it depends on how much you cook it down.
I boil 8 pint jars.
