I have a recipe for italian style stewed tomatoes, but wanted to change it a bit. The ensuing recipe makes a fabulous dipping sauce/tomato sauce/spaghetti sauce/soup starter.
Tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped are added to a mixture of onion, green peppers, fresh basil and chopped garlic. The amounts on these will vary according to your taste. Then added chopped zucchini and let it cook for about an hour. Next, run the mixture through your blender to finely chop and then can it.
Then pull it out with breadsticks or foccocia bread and use as a dip. It also makes a wonderful pizza sauce on top of foccicia bread with cheese and your favorite toppings. Add to meatballs and angel hair pasta for a quick meal. Take a jar and pour into a pan. Add one and a half jars of water, one jar of pasta noodles and some mini meatballs and let simmer for 30 minutes. Top with grated parmesan for a fantastic meal. Seriously a very versatile sauce and yummy flavor.
Enjoy, I have a whole pot simmering now that I will be canning in about an hour and the house smells amazing!
