Ingredients

  • 8 quart minced peeled, cored tomatoes (abt 48 large tomatoes)
  • 1 1/2 c. minced sweet red peppers - (abt 3)
  • 2 x bay leaves
  • 1 Tbsp. salt
  • 1 x garlic clove peeled-if you like

Directions

  1. Organize and prepare ingredients, equipment, and work area. In a large preserving kettle, cook tomatoes, peppers, bay leaves, and salt for 1 hour over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Press through a fine sieve and return to kettle. Throw away seeds and bay leaves. Add in garlic, if using, and continue to cook over medium to medium-low heat, stirring frequently, till tomato mix is thick sufficient to mound on a spoon, about 2 1/2 hrs. Remove garlic.
  3. Pour warm paste into warm half-pint jars to within 1/4-inch of tops. Run a slim, non metal tool down along the insides of jars to release any air bubbles. Add in additional paste, if necessary, to within 1/4-inch of tops.
  4. Wipe tops and threads of jars with damp clean cloth. Put on lids and screw bands as manufacturer directs. Process in a boiling water bath 45 min.
  5. This recipe yields about 9 half-pint jars.
