Notes
My mom, Sue, has many variations on Italian tomato sauce. Every summer she cans a few SCD versions for me and drives them up on her visits. Each year she is inundated with tomatoes from her own garden as well as from friends who don't know what to do with their excess. As a result, she has been steadily refining her sauce recipes for four decades! -Raman ------------------------- *To peel the tomatoes, fill a stovetop pot with water and bring to a boil. Drop in each tomato for about 15 seconds and then remove and quickly run under cold tap water. The skin on the tomato will be easy to peel off. †For information and step-by-step directions on jar/lid sterilization please visit https://www.ballmasonjars.com/canning-and-preserving-101.html.
