1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Recipe
Prepare Ball brand jars and closures. Wash tomatoes; drain. Peel, core
and cut into small pieces; set aside. Sauté onions and garlic in olive
oil in a large saucepot. Add tomatoes and seasonings. Simmer about 2
hours, stirring occasionally. Press mixture through a sieve or food
mill; discard
seeds. Cook pulp in a large, uncovered saucepot ove medium-high heat
until sauce thickens, stirring to prevent sticking. Add 1 tablespoon
bottled lemon juice or ¼ teaspoon citric acid to each pint jar.
Carefully ladle hot sauce into hot jars,
leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jar rim clean. Place lid on jar
with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and firmly
just until a point of resistance is met - fingertip tight.
Process 35 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
Yield: about 4 pints.
