Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes, in batches, to boiling water for 30 to 45 seconds. Remove from boiling water; plunge into ice water. Peel off tomato skins; cut in half. Remove seeds using your finger or a spoon. Place in a colander to drain.
  2. 2 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Combine tomatoes, onion, lemon juice, red wine, celery, basil, bell pepper, garlic, salt, bay leaves, and black pepper in a large pot over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down and sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Inspect 8 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until tomato sauce is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  5. 5 Pack tomato sauce into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot or canner 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 jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 35 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove jars from the stockpot; place on a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, 8 hours to overnight. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until onion is soft and translucent. Pour in crushed tomatoes and whole tomatoes. As you are adding the whole tomatoes, let them slowly slide through your fingers and crush them coarsely on the way into the pot. Season with 1/4 cup of the parsley and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Cover, and reduce heat to low.
  2. 2 In a large bowl, mix the ground beef chuck, breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/8 cup parsley, egg, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix ingredients with your hands until well blended. Form into small, golf ball-size meatballs. Slice all of the sausage links but one hot and one mild link into 1/2 inch chunks.
  3. 3 Heat 2 tablespoons in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be slightly smoking. Slice open the remaining links of hot and mild sausage, and crumble into the pan. Saute, continually breaking up the pieces, until they are all golden brown. Transfer to the sauce. Brown the meatballs, chopped sausage links, and pork bones on all sides until they are a deep golden brown. You may need to do this in stages, and continually transfer into the sauce when browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. 4 Pour the red wine into the skillet and deglaze all of the brown chunks on the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce to about half, then transfer into the sauce. Frequently stir, and season with salt and pepper to taste for about another hour after the last meat has been transferred into the pan. Finish by stirring the remaining fresh parsley into the sauce. Spoon sauce over your favorite pasta and serve the meat on a separate plate.
