Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl.
  2. Dip tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer to the ice water bath.
  3. Peel the skins off the tomatoes; they should slip off easily.
  4. Coarsely chop the peeled tomatoes and place them in a large enamelware or stainless steel pot.
  5. In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  6. Add minced garlic, coarsely chopped onions, and coarsely chopped bell peppers to the skillet.
  7. Sauté the vegetables until just soft, being careful not to brown them.
  8. Add the sautéed vegetable mixture to the pot with the tomatoes.
  9. Stir in the dried oregano, basil, parsley, paprika, and sugar.
  10. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  11. Do not overcook the sauce, as it will continue to cook during the canning process and when reheated.
  12. Prepare canning jars according to manufacturer's instructions.
  13. Add 2 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of salt to each quart-sized jar before filling.
  14. Ladle the hot sauce into the prepared jars, leaving appropriate headspace.
  15. Process in a pressure canner according to the manufacturer's instructions for tomato products.
