While this recipe is written in an old-fashioned way, it is perfectly safe if processed using modern methods. If you are unfamiliar with these techniques, please go to http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/how/can_home.html for the current information. Meatless sauce should be pressure canned for 15 minutes (pints) and 20 minutes (quarts) to meet contemporary safety standards. At altitudes above sea level they should be processed even longer.

Finally a spaghetti sauce recipe with the perfect spices! I used a 18 quart roasting pan. Was only able to get 3 gallons of tomatos to fill roaster but measured what the recipe called for for spices and peppers, etc. I did add extra garlic and sugar. Got 26 pints. I also used a wand blender to blend the vegetables together. THank You for the awesome recipe!!

This is THE BEST sauce I have tasted & made. Not sure what recipe Lucy made but there is no OIL in this recipe. I started making it in 2011 & have made another batch of it this year. Still have another batch to make yet. :) I use all paste tomatoes & it turns out Very thick. I also cut my veggies up chunky. finally found a recipe that the whole family likes. It's a keeper. THANK YOU ~kdp

I am sorry, but with that oil in the recipe you will be at a risk for botulism. This recipe should not be canned, but frozen. Also, there is not enough acid to can it even without the oil.

I have not tasted this yet, as it is on the stove finishing up the simmering time, but wow, it smells and looks amazing! I am canning it, and cut the recipe down quite a bit for my pot size, I may be brave and do 2 pots at a time next time- Thanks!
