I haven't done it myself, but I remember helping my mother make jams and sauces, and the jars seal as the contents cools. The jars with buttons are the easiest to recognise as sealed - it pops, and I remember being surprised by the unexpected sound when I was doing my schoolwork! Don't forget to heat the jars in hot tap water so they won't crack when you pour hot contents into them.Estel Talroval / Theophilus Balsamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197224825565985845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-30896543602331681772012-09-27T13:24:03.000+10:002012-09-27T13:24:03.000+10:00I use Fowlers Vacola bottles or recycle pasta sauc...I use Fowlers Vacola bottles or recycle pasta sauce bottles, depending on how many bottles I have and how much sauce I'm making.<br /><br />You can buy new lids for the recycled pasta sauce bottles if you need to.

I have looked at jars from the greek shop that are like the commercial jars, and they cost quite a bit - i can recycle the jars but i will need to buy new lids each time because the seals are single use only.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-22319523130471080152012-05-17T09:38:24.671+10:002012-05-17T09:38:24.671+10:00I don't have a recipe as such.

I use tomatoes, onions, garlic, basil, oregano as the base then add other veggies if I have them: carrots, capsicum, zucchini, celery.<br /><br />Generally just quarter the tomatoes, dice onion, crush garlic. Slice other veggies if I'm using them. Cook onion and garlic (and other veggies if using) in a little olive oil until soft, add tomatoes and herbs and let it simmer.<br /><br />Leave it as is for a chunky sauce or use a stick mixer to blend it all together for a smooth sauce.<br /><br />You can do this in a saucepan on the stove, in a slowcooker or in a pressure cooker.<br /><br />There are some lovely tomato sauce recipes in the Recipe File, in the Sauces and Gravies section.Cath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-48157559520672251612012-05-17T01:28:36.555+10:002012-05-17T01:28:36.555+10:00I have been looking for your recipe for 'crock...I have been looking for your recipe for 'crockpot pasta sauce' & haven't had any luck.
