My father's Spaghetti Sauce Recipe -
15-20lbs of tomatoes (mine where from the garden and froze until I had enough to do it. Removing the skin is your choice, I do not do it.)
5 lg carrots cleaned and finely chopped. (Reduce to 3 if you're using less than 15lb)
1 lg onion or 2 medium onions finely chopped.
2 lg whole bulbs of garlic. Skin removed (you can finely chop if you want to.)
3 cans of organic tomato paste. (Reduce by 1 can if using less than 15 lbs. of tomatoes.)
Salt and pepper to taste (I use 3 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon of pepper)
2 tablespoons each of basil, oregano, and parsley (fresh or dried. again, reduce by 1/2 is using less than 15lbs or keep it the same)
1/4 cut of organic sugar. (reduce to 2 tablespoons if using less than 15lbs)

If you have a roasting pan place all tomatoes in pan and roast at 200-250 (depends on how hot your roaster gets) over night. If using a pot on a stove, on low for at least 4 hours stirring often to make sure it's not sticking to the bottom. After cook time is complete, allow to cool.

Once cool drain excess water/juice off of the tomatoes (you can, can the juice if you wish to). Place tomatoes into a blender or food processor and puree and pour through strainer to remove any excess seeds (if you are using fresh tomatoes, not frozen, you can squeeze out the seeds before cook down.) Place it back into the pan or roaster. Once all your tomatoes are pureed, you can add the other ingredients. Carrots, garlic. basil, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir together.

Set roasting pan to 300-350 degrees. Cook for 2 to 3 hrs. either in roasting pan or large saucepan.

Begin heating water in canner about 1 hr before sauce is completely finished cooking. Keep water hot but not boiling.

When Sauce is finished, taste, if it needs more salt, add it. If it needs more pepper, add it. At this point, stir in 1/4 of cup of sugar.

Can in jar size of your choice. I used quart sized jars. Fill jars, clean tops, place lid and then ring finger tight. Fill water bath canner with jars, water to be over lids, and process for 20 mins.

After they are done, place them on a towel on countertop and allow to cool overnight. The next day, clean the outside of your jars, and remove rings. Store in cool area.

  • So relieved I'm not the only with a "messy" gardeners kitchen. I put in 19 tomato plants - then got hit by tornado! Yeah, $120K in damage, still have debris. Can't find workers - but tomatoes wait for no one! So, I'm switching from carpenter to home canner. Decided I'd make spaghetti sauce. Can't get my ding bat neighbors to take tomatoes - who ARE THESE PEOPLE??! (Ohio - recent transplant from Colorado)

    :face-blue-smiling:THANK YOU to @marymylan1846 for forcing me to check myself and recipe :face-purple-wide-eyes:. Corrections have been made to the recipe in the description to reflect the correct number/pounds of tomatoes needed for the recipe. :hand-orange-covering-eyes::eyes-pink-heart-shape::face-turquoise-covering-eyes: @marymylan1846, see community post for pictures.

    Try so.Cardamon, or ground Coriander for sweetness!! Some Cumin would be interesting! Or Caraway Seed! Pork adds a lot of flavor!
  • No lemon juice or citric acid? I always thought needed to be at a rolling boil on every video I’ve watched(??) also thought can 40 minutes for tomato?
  • @trulylynn9941
    No citric acid or lemon juice? I also use Forjars rings and lids as I have never had a fail! Just saying maybe you can contact them for a discount code for yourself as well as others.
  • @lorrainestone
    I noticed you didn't use any lemon juice. I had some explode because no one told me too. What mess! Did I miss something?
  • @MyChilepepper
    Don’t understand why I’m getting this video in my watch list while I’m learning how to lower my A1c. 😱
  • @CountrySweet
    I do not see anything saying how much seasoning of each of the three you add to the big pot
  • @moserfarms8842
    Hi! I am new to canning. I froze my tomatoes straight from the garden and did not core them or cut the green stem. They are not very large tomatoes. Will I still be able to make this without coring them out? THANKS

    My Grandmother and Grandfather both came here from Sicily in 1937, my dad was 2, and my uncle John was 3 years old, the Elalunsa song you played me and my sisters know the words to, my Grandmother taught us, I fanally mastered her sauce, i`m the sauce guy now every Christmas when the family gets together, it took me 20 years to master, I make a huge pot and freeze it, not wanting to take up all the freezer room, I would love to can it. I never seen sauce water bathed, every video I watched say pressure can because it has meat, my sauce has Italian sausage chunks, pork chunks and burger, did you get away with it because you immersion blended it, I do not. I never seen anybody water can on a simmer, I water can my tomatoes boiling for 45 minutes, I have for years, following a ball recipe. I am curious, is it safe to water bath the meat chunks, or do I have to pressure can it, I do not own a pressure cooker. I would much rather can the sauce, than fill my freezer with these big bins all the time.
  • @RodentMommy1
    I want to try canning my own spaghetti sauce. Did you take off the rings while the jars cooled?
  • @WillowRayne
    Sorry for sounding dumb. Ibjust need to be sure im right b4 i jump in. I've never water bath canned only pressure canned. But im gonna try this. My tomato's are all frozen , ill blanch them to slide the skins off first Then wait till they are thawed and squeeze/ squish out the liquid? Idk i read that in a reply down there. Then mush um up and add all the stuff and cook to not a rolling boil for 2 hours Fill jars Put them in hot water fill with water to cover jars When it starts to gently boil , cover and cook or 20 min. Do i have it right?
