Method

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a large stock pot, cook on medium heat for 1 hour, stirring constantly.
  • Have the canning jars in the dishwasher; and fill your boil bath with water and bring to boil. Put the jar lids in a small saucepan of water on low heat.
  • Using your boat motor, hand held blender, or similar, blend until all ingredients are a smooth sauce.
  • Fill jars with the puree, to within 1/2 inch from top of jar. Clean rim with a clean rag, put on the lid and attach ring and screw on fairly tightly.
  • Put the jars in the boil bath and process for 25 minutes. Then remove jars from the water bath and cool jars on a towel overnight. Check all seals to be sure they are sealed. Assuming they are, store in a cool dry place and enjoy!! If a jar doesn't seal properly, just keep that one in the refrigerator.
