Canning spagetti sauce recipe?

[BLACKJACK]

I have lots of tomatoes, looking for a recipe for making whole tomatoes into spagetti sauce that could be canned.

Thanks!!!

My wife makes all our own spagetti sauce. She cubes and cooks the tomatoes down with onion, garlic, green peppers, mushrooms, and italian seasonings. Then we measure meal size portions into zip-lock freezer style bags and freeze it flat on a cookie sheet so they stack up nice. I don't know the ratio of the ingredients though.

My mom gets these spaghetti sauce canning packets from Cashwise/Coborns. I think they also have them at Wally and Cub. She just uses those and they make the best sauce. Romas are the best they make for a thick sauce. If she makes a batch that is runny which can happen because of the type of tomato and the year (more moisture) I just buy a packet of McCormicks thick and zesty Spaghetti sauce and add about 1 tablespoon of that to the jar and it thickens it up when I'm cooking it. Those packets are so good that I can't even eat Prego or Ragu unless I'm desparate.

Looks like the moderator didn't notice that I'd already started a post here!!!

mnhunttress, I may have to look at those packets as a shortcut, I know I saw some in the local fleet farm.

I usually skin the tomatoes by placing them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then right into an ice bath. The skin comes right off. I will also try to get as many seeds out as I can, but im usually not too worried about the seeds.

This is about as basic as you can get. Every batch I do is different. Add some ground beef, or italian sausage, mushroom, green pepper, the options are endless

I've got lots of freezer space, so I freeze my sauce instead of canning it. I put it in food saver bags and freeze it, then I use the foodsaver to pull the air out and seal it. It lasts forever in the freezer this way and never tastes funny.
