Piquant Tomato Sauce

The tomatoes are ripening on the vine & it will soon be time to start canning. This tangy sauce is my favourite; in fact, i make enough to last all winter. Its perfect for pasta sauces, chicken parmesan, a topping for meatloaf or making your own seafood sauce!!!

Steps

Combine tomatoes , garlic , celery , peppers , onion& water in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan.
Bring to a boil , reduce heat , cover & boil gently , stirring occasionally , for 20 minutes or until mixture has thickened& vegetables are soft.
Cool slightly.
Puree in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Return mixture to pot and add vinegar & spices.
Boil gently for 5 minutes to blend the flavours , stirring continuously.
Ladle sauce into hot , sterile jars allowing 1 / 2 inch of head space.
Process 15 minutes for 250 ml jars & 20 minutes for 500 ml jars.
