Spaghetti Sauce

Here's my very basic spaghetti sauce recipe. I buy a big can of tomato puree at Costco for $2.79 and can make about 4 quart-size jars of sauce. I also use this sauce when we make homemade pizzas.




Spaghetti Sauce
106-ounce can tomato puree
2 teaspoons onion salt
2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon white or black pepper
2 1/2 cups water
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Combine and simmer in the crockpot on low for a few hours. Pour into containers (I use wide-mouth Mason jars.) and freeze.

To pack more veggies into the sauce, I have used the Vita-Mix to puree fresh spinach with a cup or two of sauce, and add it to the rest of the batch.
This recipe has not been safety tested for canning.
