6. 6 Transfer the jars and lids from simmering water to a dry towel.
7. 7 Place 3 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt into each jar. Ladle hot tomato sauce into the sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with the lids and screw the rings on tightly.
8. 8 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process until the jars are fully sealed, about 45 minutes.
9. 9 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool dark area.
