   Do I need to add a tablespoon of lemon juice to each jar when canning this marinara?

   If I'm canning, how long do I process this?

   I wanted a tomato sauce made with fresh tomatoes and am so happy I chose this recipe. It was delicious!!! I think my Italian mother would have loved it. I served it over meat & cheese manicotti. I made two casseroles, one for my husband and I and another for my daughter and family. There were no leftovers. Thanks Potluck for a wonderful marinara sauce.

   Really is the best sauce ever. I wanted a recipe for all the tomatoes from my garden. Wonderful flavor, but I confess I added a little extra wine.

   This is excellent. My husband wanted to get a straw and slurp it up. I pointed out to him that it was too thick for a straw! My sauce was not watery at all. I followed the recipe exactly, well almost, I did not skin the tomatoes. I think because I used a very wide pan (13" diameter) more liquid evaporated. My food processor did a great job. Do not waste your time peeling the tomatoes.

   I found this recipe 3 weeks ago. I realize it is from 2007, but this recipe deserves 10 stars. I usually don't follow recipes exactly the way they are written, but decided to do so with this one. I also never write reviews, but I just had to this time. I had an abundance of home-grown tomatoes, so I've been able to made 3 batches of this sauce. It is absolutely THE best marinara sauce I have ever tasted. I froze the sauce rather than canning it. I left out the red pepper flakes because I can't eat anything spicy or hot, and it was sweet and thick. Do yourself a huge favor.....make this sauce.

   I have made marinara my entire life, but I have never tried it with fresh tomatoes. I searched several databases to find a good recipe and I am glad I stopped here. This was the most fantastic recipe and fun to make. I used small plum tomatoes which are more meat and less juice, so my sauce came out nice and thick. I can now say I have found an award winning recipe for my tomatoes.

   To every tomato dish I cook I always, always add cocoa powder. I find that it takes out the extra acidity and bitterness and adds more of a thick, savory, and complete taste.

   I don't peel the tomatoes, I blend them in the nutra bullet and I omitted the pepper flakes.

   Left tomatoes unpeeled and discarded seeds/pulp. I substituted fresh parsley, basil and oregano for dried. I omitted "Italian seasoning" and red pepper flakes. Reduced sugar and salt by 50%.

   I made marinara sauce from roma tomatoes from a buddy's garden. This recipe worked for me as I didn't want to run to the store to get any ingredients I didn't have so I used a substitute or left out some ingredients.I used granulated garlic, dehydrated chopped onion, Avocado oil in place of olive oil and sriracha sauce instead of pepper flakes. I put in a teaspoon of black pepper and ended up leaving out the red wine and chicken broth. I did not add Italian seasoning as I prefer to know exactly what and how much I am adding and "Italian seasoning" is not a defined quantity, so I added a teaspoon of ground Rosemary. I used 2 tablespoons of agave sweetener instead of sugar.If I did this again I would use less sweetener, add the red wine, add the chicken broth, use less sriracha sauce and use fresh garlic and onion. I would also consider adding a can of diced or crushed tomatoes to give it a bit of chunkiness as I puréed the tomatoes that I added so I would add the crushed/diced tomatoes after that step.The 5 people who tasted the sauce liked it greatly and wanted the recipe. I will make this sauce again and make it the way I indicated above and I expect it to be even better than my "substitute" version.
