Spaghetti sauce recipe too, please.

Simmer lots of tomatoes, cored and halved. Blend them in a blender, then strain into a big pan (about 3 or 4 gallons of puree).
While the sauce is simmering, add: chop about 4 bell peppers, 3 onions, fresh parsley (or dried), beef bullion cube for each gallon, Tbl worcheshire sauce, 1 Tbl minced garlic (I get the little bottles of pre-minced, in the fresh vegetable isle) Dried italian seasoning with oregano, 1 pkg of dried spagetti sauce mix. Simmer until it gets thick. Taste, to add salt / pepper. Bottle in clean glass jars, hot water bath for 25 minutes.

Thanks.. The recipe I used to use gave me tummy problems. I never could figure out what to leave out. I buy my sause now, but will be making these recipes next summer. We always have so many tomatoes go to waste.

There is as much satisfaction in seeing a table full of home-canned goods as there is in seeing a completed quilt!!
I don't mind canning at all but am still a newbie when it comes to pickles.
I'm afraid to do anything tomato without pressure canning.
