Jan South

30 pounds Tomatoes (about a ½ bushel), 20 cups pureed tomatoes

14 Dried California Chile Peppers

2 ½ pounds ground beef and/or Italian pork sausage (I prefer to mix half ground beef & half sausage in my sauce)

5 tablespoons minced garlic

1 ½ cups chopped onions

1 cup green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

½ pound mushrooms, sliced - optional

6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or 3 tablespoons dried

4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves, or 2 tablespoons dried

2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves, or 1 tablespoon dried

¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar

4 teaspoons salt

3 teaspoons black pepper

note: *I have learned that it takes approx. 10 average sized canning (Beefsteak) tomatoes to equal approximately 6 to 8 cups of pureed tomatoes. So approximately 30 averaged sized canning tomatoes will yield about 20 cups of pureed tomatoes.
