Can also be called pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce. This is a tasty, flavorful, “meet-any-of-your-tomato-sauce-needs” kind of sauce.
Cook celery, onion and green pepper in a medium sauce pan in a small amount of water until very soft. (or you could also cook in a small amount of tomato juice). Puree in a blender until smooth. Put puree back in the pan and add other ingredients. Bring to a rolling boil.
Turn heat down and simmer for about 20-30 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. Serve hot or cold.
Yields approximately 2 pints.
This sauce is great with breadsticks.
Great with spaghetti.
Great with pizza.
Great with you-name-it.
Note: My recipe is for home canning and makes a batch of 34 pints. I put in my best efforts at converting those quantities into small amounts. Hopefully this will come out right. (Do taste-tests and make adjustments if needed.)
If anyone is interested in a larger quantity, see “Marinara Sauce To Can” in my recipe box for my canning recipe.
**Edited to change sugar quantity from 1/4 cup to 1/8 cup.

I’m looking for a sauce with a sweetness… I think I found my sauce!

Made this sauce and it was delicious but I’m quite sure she didn’t mean to put 1/4 cup of sugar…made the sauce VERY sweet! Perhaps she meant 1/4 of a tsp? Anyways, be sure to just put a pinch in and add more to your taste!

I made this sauce today, I do really like the flavor, just the kinda taste I was looking for. I think next time, I would cut back on the sugar though. Thanks for sharing your recipe

And yeah, to the above question about freezing it…I’ve never tried it, but don’t know why that wouldn’t work!
If you are interested in doing larger quantities, you could use my recipe to can this, but cut in half or fourths, whatever quantity works for you.

Sorry, I should have commented on here earlier. (I’m still learning how all this works…. )
That recipe for canning marinara sauce is in my recipe box.
Try it. Then let me know what you think!
