Mom's Freezer Pizza Sauce

It's that time of year, tomato season! I love tomatoes and nothing compares to tomatoes fresh from the garden. After numerous toasted tomatoes sandwiches, I couldn't keep up so it was time to do something with them. This year I decided I'd try making my Mom's pizza sauce. She's made this sauce or a variation of it for as long as I can remember. It's  probably more of a tomato sauce than a pizza sauce as it tends to be fairly runny, but its packed with delicious ingredients and you can freeze it!


1 ice cream pail full of tomatoes, quartered (scald & peel if you like)
1-2 large onions, chopped
1-2 peppers, green or red chopped
4 large carrots, grated
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
Optional seasonings (see below)
Boil 1 1/2 hours and then either blend with an immersion blender or let cool slightly and blend in batches.

Then add
3 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. pickling salt
3/4 tbsp. pepper
Bring to a boil and pour into margarine tubs. Makes about 5-6 tubs full. Cool and  store these in the freezer.


Optional seasonings:
1/2 hot chili pepper shredded
or
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tbsp. oregano
