Water Bath Canning Processing Time (minimum - Pint) 35 minutes

Total Time 4 hours 55 minutes

Ingredients

6-8 Cups Tomatoes (Cored, Peeled & Mashed) - or - processed in a Food Mill / Food Strainer Attachment on Stand Mixer
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
2 Tbl Sugar
1 Tbl Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Onion Powder
2-3 tsp Salt (Canning)
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Basil (Optional)
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tbl Balsamic Vinegar

Instructions

Prepare Tomatoes (*see Notes below) and place into a Nesco Roaster Oven or Large Stockpot.
Add remaining ingredients to the Prepared Tomatoes and stir until well combined.
Cover & bring Tomato Mixture slowly to a boil.
Continue to cook at 250-300 Degrees until desired thickness. This may take @ 4-5 hours; checking every 30 min & stirring frequently to prevent sticking or scorching.
Use Immersion Blender (or Food Processor/Blender in batches) if necessary to create a smooth sauce of desired consistency.
Ladle the Spicy Pizza Sauce into warm canning jars leaving a ½” headspace.
Remove Bubbles from the Sauce by slowing sliding a bubble removing tool along the sides & middle of the Sauce.
Wipe rims & side threads of the jars and place lid/ring on each jar, finger tightening the ring.
Place jars into water bath canner for processing, making sure water covers the jars by an inch or two. The minimum processing time is 35 min for Pint Jars and 40 min for Quart Jars; add time as necessary based on your altitude.
Once processing is complete, let the jars sit in the water bath canner for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a towel/dish drying mat for 12-24 hours for cooling and sealing. Listen for the pings as they seal!
After 12-24 hours, you can remove the rings, making sure the jars all sealed, label jars and place in a cool, dry place for storage. 50-70 degrees is optimal.
If any jars did not seal, place them in the refrigerator for enjoying now!
