Comments (12)I usually can this one but it can be frozen too. It's from the "Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserving." I've taken out one clove of garlic and added a teaspoon of crushed red pepper for zip. Chunky Basil Pasta Sauce Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 8 cups (2 L) coarsely chopped peeled tomatoes -- (about 9-12 tomatoes or 4 lb/2 kg) 1 cup chopped onion -- (250 mL) 3 cloves garlic -- minced 2/3 cup red wine -- (150 mL) 1/3 cup red wine vinegar (5 % strength) -- (75 mL) 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil -- (125 mL) 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley -- (15 mL) 1 teaspoon pickling salt -- (5 mL) 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar -- (2 mL) 1 6-oz/156 mL) can tomato paste Combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, wine, vinegar, basil, parsley, salt, sugar and tomato paste in a very large non-reactive pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 40 minutes or until mixture reaches desired consistency, stirring frequently. Remove hot jars from canner and ladle sauce into jars to within 1/2 inch (1 cm) of rim (head space). Process 35 minutes for pin (500 mL) jars and 40 minutes for quart (1 L) jars in a BWB.

Comments (10)If I had more space, Steve, I would give pruden's a try. I only grow about 2-3 indeterminate plants in a special spot in the backyard. The "main garden" out front just doesn't have the space I need to grow everything I want haha. Last year I grew Arkansas traveler back there. It shouldn't come as a surprise (to me or anyone else) that I got a grand total of 0 (thats ze-ro, with a z) ripe tomatoes off that plant, though, the green ones I picked eventually ripened on the counter. This year I grew better boy. It produced okay, but, like many of my tomatoes this year, most of the flowers simply never set fruit. They all decided to open when it was 95* outside and just burned up. It is nothing short of a miracle that I got as many tomatoes as I did this year. There is something to be said for "hybrid vigor" here I think. In my mind, it would seem that the gene pool for most heirloom plants is almost completely homozygous. Sure, they produce amazing fruit, but the production simply ain't there. Now, I know I garden as a hobby, but I would still like more than a couple tomatoes for all the work I put into them. Start crossing and hybridizing and we start to see some amazing results. Your lemon boy experience I think attests to that perfectly. The "dehybridized" version has lost the hybrid vigor of the crossed version and, while it's great for saving seeds, it looses the benefits of having a heterozygous gene pool. Here's an interesting article on hybrids vs. heirlooms from the NY Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/24/garden/24seeds.html?pagewanted=4&_r=1 I agree with the premise mostly, that a homegrown hybrid can be just as good tasting as a homegrown heirloom, but I do have to say that the orange blossom tomato pales in comparison for flavor that I got from last years Nebraska Wedding (comparing oranges to orange in this case). Too bad NW was a long season variety and extremely prone to BER, that 10 or so tomatoes I got off it were possibly the best tasting tomatoes I've ever had. It could also be all the water we got this year though....See Moremustangs81
