🌟 Why this pickle recipe works
Preserving spaghetti sauce is the best way to preserve the bright red color and rich flavor of fresh tomatoes. The sauce can be used year-round without losing flavor, perfect for those who cook at home and prepare many recipes with tomato-based sauces.
Food canning is inexpensive and can save you hours of your time buying the ingredients or pre-made cans at the grocery store, as a batch of this Homemade Spaghetti Sauce with Fresh Tomatoes will cost you less than $10 to make several cans.
You know, there is no store bought sauce that comes close to tasting this homemade sauce. But to get that flavor, you need to use tomatoes that you've grown yourself, bought at a farmer's market, or harvested from your own field.
The rich spaghetti sauce is made by simmering tomatoes with key ingredients like garlic, bell peppers, onions, and herbs for a flavorful tomato sauce. Add the perfect balance of tomato flavor to your pasta recipes or use as a spread on a pizza crust for the ultimate pizza sauce.
The use of fresh tomatoes makes a big difference to the overall flavor of the sauce, which becomes more authentic, and the tomato paste imparts a bright red color and intense tomato flavor.
🍽 Main ingredients
that's delicioushomemade spaghetti sauceit tastes so good with fresh ingredients and is processed using a pressure canner.
Tomatoes- Use fresh tomatoes for a more authentic flavor and tomato paste for a rich, bright red sauce.
Our tomato plants have been particularly productive for us this year, with each vine producing at least 20 or more tomatoes. The constant rain along with the dead fish and crushed eggshells we added to each hole certainly paid off in a bountiful harvest. You can read more about this in the article calledour tips for planting tomatoesfor our history of growing tomatoes and photos of the garden.
Vegetables- You need a lot of garlic, onion and green pepper to neutralize the bitterness of the cooked tomatoes.
Herbs- Use a combination of dried herbs like oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme. Dried herbs retain their flavor best when you simmer fresh tomato spaghetti sauce.
Salsa Worcester- Worcestershire sauce is a key ingredient in this and many other sauces due to its Unami flavor and ability to add extra depth.
substitutions
Tomatoes
While fresh tomatoes are recommended and definitely worth buying, you can substitute canned tomatoes.
Herbs
You can use fresh herbs in place of the dried ones to intensify the flavor, but add them last and use half the amount if you're replacing the dried herbs with fresh basil, thyme, oregano, and rosemary.

🔪How to do
Homemade Spaghetti Sauce with Fresh Tomatoes is an amazing recipe that can be pressure-canned for up to a year, but like all good things, sauce requires patience and time to infuse the ingredients for the best flavor.
preparations
Paso 1
wash the tomatoes
paso 2
Blanch them in boiling water for 60 seconds.
level 3
Dive into the icy water. You can see the skin slides off easily.
stage 4
Peel and halve or quarter the tomatoes. Put all the chopped tomatoes in a large saucepan. By the way, the yellow tomatoes are called Lemon Boys. Although they look like lemons, they really are sweet-tasting tomatoes!
paso 5
Before you know it, you'll have a sink full of peeled tomatoes! Bring the tomatoes to a boil over medium heat. Be sure to stir the tomatoes often, because you don't want them to burn to the bottom!
cooking instructions
Paso 1
To quickly chop tomatoes, I use a flat metal spatula to slice them as they cook. Reduce the heat and let the tomatoes cook for about 20 minutes, but remember to keep stirring!
paso 2
Meanwhile, peel and quarter 4 onions. I put mine in a food processor, but if you don't have one, chop finely.
level 3
Add the chopped onions to the sauce and stir. I found that a long handled wooden spoon comes in handy for the whole move!
stage 4
Wash four green peppers. Here you can see 5 but mine came from the garden and they were a bit small. I cut my peppers into chunks and toss them into the food processor.
paso 5
Add the chopped bell peppers to the sauce and stir some more!
paso 6
Now we like our spaghetti sauce flavorful and garlicky, so I use a whole garlic clove. But you can adjust the amount of garlic to your liking.
Finely chop the garlic and add to the sauce. Don't forget to stir!
paso 7
Let the sauce simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring constantly. Then add your spices. I use 2 tablespoons of dried oregano, 1 tablespoon of dried thyme, 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary, and 2 tablespoons of dried basil.
Now that's a real secret ingredient: 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce! There is a real depth of flavor! Cook the sauce for another 10 minutes while you remove all canning equipment.

🙋 FAQ
Does tomato sauce have to be kept under pressure?
No, he does not do it! You can safely can high-acid foods, such as tomatoes, in a water bath.

Can I use freezer bags instead of cans?
Yes, this homemade spaghetti sauce freezes perfectly. Once the sauce has cooled, fill large freezer bags with sauce. Place each bag on a baking sheet until completely frozen and stack well.
Why is my tomato sauce so acidic?
The pH of tomatoes ranges from 4.3 to 4.9, while canned tomatoes have a pH of 3.5 or less. If your sauce is too acidic, heat the sauce and add ¼ teaspoon of baking soda to 1 quart of sauce. It will foam up a bit, but it won't change the flavor, but it will reduce the acidity. If there is still a hint of tartness, add a teaspoon of unsalted butter to help bind.
