Canned Pizza Sauce
Great marinara sauce for Pizza or spaghetti!
Equipment
- water-bath canner
- 15 half pint mason jars with lids and rings
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup grated onions or 3 tbsp dried onion flakes
- 2 tbsp garlic minced
- 3 tsp oregano
- 3 tsp dried basil
- 4 tbsp Italian seasoning see recipe link in description
- (6) 15 oz. can tomato sauce
- (3) 6 oz. can tomato paste
- 3 tsp sugar cane sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Lemon juice per half pint jar
Instructions
- Add the oil to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the grated onion, minced garlic, oregano, basil, Italian seasoning. Toss around with a wooden spoon and cook until onions are softened and slightly browned, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful as the garlic can easily burn.
- Once the onions are cooked, add the tomato sauce and tomato paste, sugar, and salt.
- Stir until everything is combined. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes to reduce the water and enhance the flavors. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings to your preference.
- While the sauce cooks, prepare the jars and your canner. You'll need 15 (cleaned and sterilized) half pint jars, lids and rings and a water bath canner.
- Add 1 teaspoon of bottled lemon juice to each jar. Using your canning funnel ladle the sauce into jars to a 1/2-inch head space. Remove air bubbles and make sure the headspace is still correct, add more sauce if needed. Wipe rim of jar clean and put on lid and band. Tighten to fingertip tight and place into canner. Make sure jars are fully covered with water and bring to a boil. Process jars half pints for 35 minutes. If above 1,000 feet look up instructions for adjusting processing times to altitude.
- Once done, carefully remove each jar from the canner using the jar lifter. Do not tilt the jars or try to wipe them dry. Place jars onto a clean kitchen towel. Leave the jars to cool for 24 hours. Once cooled, wipe the jars of any residue that might be on the outside of the jar.
