Canning Marinara Sauce

I found this recipe online years ago, but i don't recall where. it's a lot of work, but if you want to use your fresh garden tomatoes this is a great way to do it. then the next time you make mozzarella sticks or breadsticks the marinara sauce is already done.

Steps

In a large pot cook onion , celery , and carrots in oil until tender.
Stir a few times and add garlic.
Cook for 2 more minutes.
Add tomatoes , sugar , and pepper and stir.
Put through a food mill if you would like a smoother sauce or whirl in a food processor.
Add remaining seasonings except salt and cook to desired consistency.
Add salt and remove bay leaf.
Pack into hot clean jars leaving 1 / 2 inch head space.
Process for 45 minutes.
Yield depends on how much you cook it down , but it will make approximately 8 pint jars.

Ingredients

onions, celery, carrot, olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, sugar, bay leaf, dried basil, oregano, marjoram, salt, pepper
