Hi girls, I'm looking for recipes for canning. My mil cans her homemade spaghetti sauce, but it is really thin. I also don't want one with meat added. I will add it when I make the spaghetti.
Also a salsa one. This is my first year of really canning. I got my pears done. Green beans and corn, are 2 weekends from now. I was hoping to get my tomato stuff done by then.
Please share!!!

This is my favorite:
7-9 quarts of tomatoe pulp 2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp garlic salt 1 stick butter
2 tsp onion flakes 2 1/2 T, salt
3 tsp red pepper 3 T oregano
1 1/2 tsp. pepper 1/2 cup lemon juice
Cook and strain tomatoes, then strain juice through a cheesecloth 5-15 min. Add reamaining ingredients to pulp and stir well. Put in jars and process 15 minutes.
Now I add whatever spices and herbs I feel like, but the best part of this recipe is "strain the juice" I use a jelly bag till it is as thick as I like. Add the remaining ingredients, and I cook it for a bit (15 min. or so ) then can. No more burnt sauce, and hours cooking. I love it. Michele

Don't know, is this a dumb idea as a thickener?
What about adding grated zucchini to spaghetti sauce?
Would that thicken it?

This is how I made my spaghetti sauce the other day-
I liquified the tomatoes in the blender, added italian seasoning, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, Salt, Pepper, carrots, onion, celary, and celary salt. I then cooked it until it was reduced by half. I stirred it occasionally but not overly so and nothing burned (thank goodness). It produced 5 quarts of sauce.

With Spaghetti sauce I just keep simmering until the volume goes down and it thickens. With Salsa..which I can ALOT of each year...I add tomato paste. I don't like to keep cooking salsa so long..turns it into sauce!! The tomato paste works great to thicken it.
