The recipe comes from Small-Batch Preserving by Ellie Topp and Margaret Howard. It yields 4 pints
Chunky Basil Pasta Sauce
8 cups coarsely chopped peeled tomatoes -- (about 9-12 tomatoes or 4 lb)
1 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic -- minced
2/3 cup red wine
1/3 cup red wine vinegar (5 % strength)
½ cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon pickling salt
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
1 6-oz can tomato paste
Combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, wine, vinegar, basil, parsley, salt, sugar and tomato paste in a very large non-reactive pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 40 minutes or until mixture reaches desired consistency, stirring frequently.
If canning, remove hot jars from canner and ladle sauce into jars to within ½ inch of rim (head space). Process 35 minutes for pint jars and 40 minutes for quart jars in a BWB.

Oh, thank you! Sounds so good. What are the numbers before the wine and vinegar? Can't wait to make this one. Just waiting on those green tomatoes to redden...
We make a difference. |

| Hmm, I didn't notice that when I previewed the post! The wine should be 2/3 cup and the vinegar 1/3 cup. I don't think mine took nearly the 40 minutes, either, but I used mostly paste-type tomatoes, though. I think I am going to make another batch tomorrow! |

Thank you. I copied it off. It sounds good.
It's not about being perfect, but enjoying what you do. Set aside time to be creative.
