8 large tomatoes

6 cloves garlic, minced

Mix all ingredients together in a large kettle and cook until thickened to desired consistency, about one hour.

Fill canning jars leaving 3/4 inch (2 cm). Wipe off tops of the jars before putting on lids. Screw lids on tight then turn back about a quarter turn.

Before storing, test each jar to be sure it has sealed by pressing down on lids. They should not move. Store in your pantry until ready to use.
