To prepare tomatoes, follow directions for Spaghetti Sauce Without Meat, page 29. Saute beef or sausage
until brown. Add garlic, onion, celery or green pepper, and mushrooms, if desired. Cook until vegetables are
tender. Combine with tomato pulp in large saucepan. Add spices, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil. Simmer,
uncovered, until thick enough for serving. At this time initial volume will have been reduced by nearly
one-half. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Fill jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process.
