How To Make & Can The BEST Homemade Pasta Sauce!
“This pasta sauce is simple, easy and delicious! I absolutely love it! It’s my moms recipe and it’s just perfect! I do add more sugar to mine because it keeps it from tasting sour and I omit the citric acid. Tomatoes are acidic enough that the additional citric acid isn’t necessary. But if you don’t mind the slight tart taste of the tomatoes, then follow my mom’s original recipe exactly. Regardless, this will be a crowd pleaser whenever you make homemade pasta or have spaghetti night! It’s creamy, full of flavor and tastes like fresh tomatoes (my husband hates tomatoes but loves this recipe). Also- the full video with more details and step by step instructions for beginners can be found on my YouTube channel and the link is below… Enjoy and happy homesteading! :)”

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 pounds tomato (washed, cut in half)
