Chunky Spaghetti Sauce
Take a large pot and put 7 qts of water in it, mark where this level is and dump the water out. Put in all the ingredients and add water, broth or tomato juice to the level of the mark. You shouldn't need a lot.
#10 can of chopped tomatoes in juice (about a gallon of chopped fresh tomatoes packed down)
1 or 2 cups of diced meat (I'll frequently open a qt jar that is already processed and dump it in.)
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped bell peppers
1 cup chopped summer squash
1 cup cooked garbanzo beans
1/4 cup chopped parsley
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh basil (can use dried, adjust for taste according to how strong the basil is)
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt to taste (about 6-7tsp if there is no salt in the tomatoes)
Stir everything together well then dip it into 7 sterile qts (14 pts). Try to get a good balance of the ingredients in each jar.
Alternatively, divide each of the ingredients except the tomatoes and herbs between the jars without mixing in the pot. Mix the herbs with the tomatoes and fill the jars leaving 1/2" headspace. Use a long handled spoon to stir the ingredients.
Process as for meat. If you prefer to add the meat later, process for the veggies instead following current blue book guides.
