Seasoned Tomato Sauce

Tis that time of year. My tomatoes are producing wonderfully and I have canned Tomato juice (recipe will be forthcoming). I want to do some Tomato Sauce and thought of recipe web searching. Here is one recipe I have found. I will also do some Tomato soup which I will put up soon as well.

10 pounds washed, peeled, cored and chopped tomatoes
3 medium onions, chopped fine
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoon oregano
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon sugar

Hot Pack

Add all ingredients to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Press mixture through a food mill and discard seeds. Return to sauce pan and cook over medium-high heat until thick, stirring frequently. Add lemon juice or citric acid to hot canning jars and pack with hot prepared tomato mixture leaving ½-inch head space. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim and screw threads and adjust lids and screw bands.
