Calories 56kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 5 pounds fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  • In a large, heavy pot, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 5–7 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add garlic and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and vinegar, increase heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 60–70 minutes or until thick and reduced by about half.
  • Meanwhile, heat three 2-cup jars and lids.
  • Working in batches, purée tomato mixture in a food processor. Return to pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until thick. Add basil, oregano, lemon juice, and salt.
