Pizza Sauce

Thanks to Stacey I tried a new pizza sauce recipe and it is absolutely yummy. You can use it as a pasta sauce too! Enjoy!

Prepare 8-9 pint jars and lids

Simmer together for 7 minutes
1/2 cup Olive Oil  
1 cup Chopped Onion  

ADD:   
2 tsp Minced Garlic  
Simmer for another 2 minutes
 
ADD:  
12 cups Skinned & Blended Tomatoes  
1 Chopped Green Pepper  
1 1/3 Tbsp. Oregano  
1 1/2 Tbsp. Basil  
1/2 Bay Leaf, Crushed  
6 Tbsp. Sugar
2 Tbsp. Pickling Salt  
1/4 tsp .Pepper
1 1/2 tsp. Chili Powder  
4- 6oz. Cans Tomato Paste (or 2 -13oz. cans)  
Simmer all for 1 hour  
Pour immediately into hot jars.
Place in hot water bath for 20-25 minutes.

NOTES:
*6 litres of whole tomatoes makes around 12 cups of blended tomatoes.  
**To easily remove skin from tomatoes, place them in boiling water until the skins crack.  Cool in  cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Remove skin.
