Freezer Spaghetti Sauce

Here it is!  Freezer Spaghetti Sauce.....I found the recipe here: http://www.aturtleslifeforme.com/2011/08/freezer-spaghetti-sauce-and-my-garden.html

But just tweaked it a bit to fit my needs and tastes...here it is:

Spaghetti Sauce

4-5 medium sweet onions, diced 

8-10 cloves garlic, minced

2-4 tbsp. vegetable oil

Throw that in your crockpot on low heat until onion is transparent (1-2 hours or so)

Next:

Add the following and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, stirring every hour or so:

16 cups peeled and chopped tomatoes (can be fresh or canned- I used 5 cups fresh and the rest was canned diced tomatoes)

4 tbsp. dried oregano

3 tbsp. dried basil

3 tbsp. dried parsley

1/4 cup white sugar

2 tbsp. salt

2 tbsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. black pepper

24 oz. tomato paste

This recipe made more than my crock pot would hold so I put the remainder in a saucepan and cooked on low for 4-5 hours. 

After it’s cooled, divide into quart size freezer containers/ziplocks.  Store in freezer.

If you use fresh tomatoes, the easiest way to peel them is to first slice an X in the bottom (opposite where the stem would be) and drop into boiling water for 30 seconds and immediately drop them into a bowl of ICE water.  The skins slide right off.

Enjoy:-)
