How to Make My Aunt's Spaghetti Sauce
- Add the oil, spices, and cook till 1/4 reduces, approx 3 hours.I keep tasting near the end, and add garlic powder and onion powder, and any other spice I think it needs.
- Have your jars sanitized and hot, along with the lids. When sauce is done cooking down, fill the hot jars,screw on lids, and place on a towel, not touching. Should start hearing them pop not long after filled,mine took about30 min to seal...so easy, once everything is put into pot,the cooking of the sauce, and grinding of the tomatoes is most time consuming, bit oh so well worth it.
