Marinara Sauce Recipe:
1. Put 2.5 gallons of plain thickened tomato sauce into a large pot.
2. Then, rough chop 5 large onions, mince 4 garlic cloves, and then saute them over medium heat until the onions are beginning to brown.
3. Run the onions and garlic through a blender until the mixture is fairly smooth. Then, add it into the pot of tomato sauce.
4. Add: ½ cup + 2 T salt; 1 cup of sugar; ¼ cup + 2 T basil; ¼ cup + 2 T oregano; 3 T Italian seasoning; 1 T red pepper flakes; 3 tsp. Garlic powder; and 5 bay leaves crumbled fine.
5. Let that simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring often to keep it from burning on the bottom.
You can freeze this, but I prefer to can it so that it’s shelf stable.
To each quart jar I add 1/2 tsp. citric acid. Pints get 1/4 tsp and this is just to ensure that my recipe is acidic enough to be safely water bath canned. Then fill your jars, wipe the rims, and add your lids and rings.
Quart jars are processed in a water bath canner for 40 minutes and pints 35. And if you are like me and live about 1000 ft. in elevation you should add 5 minutes to those times.
Bean Cookie Dough Recipe:
Add to a food processor or blender:
1 can northern white beans
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
Blend until smooth. Then add in some chocolate chips, chill, and enjoy!
