Hi, Suzanne! Really enjoy your site – read it every day. Is it possible to can your Italian-Style Tomato Sauce, and if so – how? It looks really good, and could be used in so many different dishes. Thanks!

Hi, Lana! It could definitely be canned, though I never have. And I should! I just looked up a “seasoned tomato sauce” recipe in the BBB to compare the recipes and see what instructions the BBB has on that. The recipes are similar in ingredients and so on, so I think it’s a good case study. For the “seasoned tomato sauce” recipe in the BBB, they call for BWB at 35 minutes for pints, 40 minutes for quarts. (You can PC tomatoes and tomato sauces also, faster, but I don’t know what the PC time/pressure would be as the BBB generally calls for BWB on tomatoes and doesn’t have PC instructions on that.)

For PC instructions I would go with the NCHFP’s Spaghetti Sauce without meat

To BWB a tomato sauce, the big issue is making sure that you don’t have too much low acid veggies in proportion to the amount of tomato products. If you PC the sauce, you can add all the low acid veggies you wish.

Thanks, Suzanne & Dede! This recipe sounds so good, and I think that a lot of cooking time would be saved by having some of this on hand.

Quick question on this, if you don’t mind. I am going to do the Seasoned Tomato Sauce out of the BBB with all fresh tomatoes (but adding more spices ala Suzanne’s recipe). I’m going to PC it (pints-20min-11lbs). Since this is the case, do I still need to add the lemon juice called for in the recipe? Thanks! I’ll bring it to the forum, if you would prefer the question there.

Carrie, I’m not sure, so you might want to ask on the forum to get more answers!
