Time 4h20m

Yield 9 1/2 pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 quarts roma tomatoes, about 4 dozen (or other meaty tomatoes)
1 1/2 cups sweet red peppers, chopped (about 3)
1 cup chopped onion (optional)
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano (optional)
1 -2 tablespoon honey (optional-if you want it a little sweeter)
1 tablespoon salt
2 garlic cloves, chopped

Steps:

  • Wash and trim tomatoes. Blanch and remove skin if desired, or press through sieve when done cooking.
  • Combine tomatoes, red peppers,onions, bay leaves, basil,oregano, honey, if using, and salt in a large stockpot and cook slowly for about 1 hour.
  • Press through a fine sieve. Add garlic, and continue cooking slowly until thick enough to keep its shape on a spoon, about 2 1/2 hours. Stir frequently to keep from sticking.(this could be done in a crockpot-just stir and keep an eye on it).
  • Pour through sieve(if you left the skins on), then pour into hot 1/2 pint canning jars, leaving 1/2" headspace.
  • Process 1/2 pints 45 minutes in a boiling water bath.
  • Makes about 9 1/2 pint jars.
