Method
- Start by sterilizing your canning jars to prevent any unwanted bacteria.
- In a large pot, combine the chopped tomatoes and bring to a boil to break them down.
- In a separate saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the onions and garlic until soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the fresh basil, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper into the onion mixture.
- Once the tomatoes are softened, blend them until smooth and mix with the sautéed aromatics.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the vinegar just before finishing cooking to balance the sauce's sweetness.
- Using a canning funnel, fill the jars with the hot sauce, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
Notes
Serve with pasta, as a pizza sauce, or for dipping breadsticks. Adjust seasoning to taste.
