Portland Marinara
20 pounds of tomatoes
3 pounds of onions
3-4 bulbs of garlic
1 bottle of red wine (Cabernet)
1/4 c. Sea salt
black pepper
1/4 c. dried oregano
3 c. fresh herbs (oregano, basil, cilantro, parsley)
1 1/2 c. bottled lemon juice
Roast tomatoes (halved), onions (quartered), and peeled garlic cloves for 40 minutes @ 375° on a cookie sheets. Puree in pot and add wine, salt, pepper (to taste), and dried oregano. Simmer to desired thickness (3-4 hrs.).
Meanwhile prepare hot water bath canner (jars, rims, and lids) on stove.
To marinara add lemon juice, and chopped fresh herbs. Simmer 5 more minutes. Transfer to hot jars, wipe rims, lid and cover finger tight. Process for 35 minutes (quarts). Makes 9 quarts.
Christine in Portland's recipe is slightly different but my recipe is based off of her's. I discovered it last year and loved it personally but a thicker sauce was definitely more to my families liking. It is definitely worth the read for other tips and its entertainment value! If I wasn't 6 months pregnant gin and tonic would definitely be on the ingredients list!
Happy Canning!
