Spaghetti Sauce for Canning image

Great tasting sauce. I wanted a recipe that would provide a smooth texture as well as have a few chunks in it. I like chunks but children prefer smooth. A compromise that works for us. Since tomatoes vary in acid levels adjust seasonings and sugar to your tastes.

2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste

Tips:

  • Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking the sauce. If you do, the sauce will be watery and not as flavorful.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will help the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Add a little bit of sugar to the sauce to help balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Let the sauce cool completely before canning it. This will help to prevent spoilage.
  • When canning the sauce, be sure to follow the instructions in the recipe carefully.
