Instructions
How to Make Marinara Sauce:
Prepare the tomato juice* (see notes.)
Blend the celery, onions, and peppers in a blender with some juice. Pour into a large stockpot and add the tomato juice.
Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil stirring occasionally. Ladle into jars and seal with lids. Process in a water bath for 30 minutes.
Notes
Notes: If using a hand blender, bring the veggies to a boil with part tomato juice for easier blending.
- To make tomato juice: blend fresh tomatoes that have been washed, cored, and trimmed with the skins. Can also use canned diced or whole tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes. Strain the juice from pulp if you wish, although it's more nutritious with it.
- To make a smaller serving: and not can simply scale down the recipe with the serving calculator tool.
- This Marinara sauce yields approx 5-6 gallons so you need a large pot. Here is the same 24-quart heavy-duty stockpot that I own.
