The recipe I used didn’t have any canning instructions. My first thought was WHY NOT? It’s totally full of tomatoes…but when I went back to see what they said, there was no instuctions…so, because I’m a super cautious canner (using USDA approved recipes), I can’t say to GO FOR IT….?? You could FREEZE it safely…but canning it, I don’t know!

Great! Thanks Dede! Pints 75 minutes and quarts 90?

Miki I think you’d be more than fine processing 60 for pints or 70 for quarts. That’s what the NCHFP states for spaghetti sauce WITH meat, so I think it may even be an overkill, but ……

this sauce was very sour, very acidic. I’m not sure where it could be used. I tasted it, and it definitely wasn’t to my taste. I gave it to several other people to try, and no one took to it.
I am wondering how it is used, maybe the expectations were wrong, when everyone tried it.

Hmmm, I wonder if something went wrong? Mine wasn’t sour at all. In fact, I used it in soup and for the sauce on pizza and fed it to picky kids and they loved it. Sorry about your experience! 🙁
