I've been making spaghetti sauce using canned tomato sauce for years using MIL's recipe. I made my first batch of spaghetti sauce using tomatoes out of my garden a couple of years ago. Heaven! No comparison, now I just need to get brave and can some of it.
Audry, you dont have to can it.. We make it in batches and freeze it in gallon or quart freezer baggies. When you want it, just run under warm water for a couple seconeds, empty into a sauce pan and heat. I also do large batches of meat balls and place them frozen in the sauce to heat through. Quick and yummie when your short on time.
I make mine really chunky and leave the skins on. It's not as thick as store bought, but it's healthier and my girls will put it on anything! I caught them puttin some of the left over sauce from a dinner on garlic bread chunks covered with mashed potatoes! Thay called it an italian manhattan!
