12 cups of chopped ripe tomatoes
1 cup chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh oregano or 1 tsp dried
2 tsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt

Combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, sugar, pepper and bay leaves in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat and boil gently, uncovered, until very thick (about 1 1/4 hours). Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Press through food mill or coarse sieve to remove seeds and skin. Add lemon juice and salt.

Ladle into hot jars, within 1/2" of the rim. Cover with vacuum lids, screwing bands until just fingertip tight. Process in boiling water bath for 35 minutes for half pint or pint jars. Cool for 24 hours before storing.
