Zucchini in Tomato Sauce (Canning)
"This recipe is no longer safe for canning. The zucchini can compact so tightly that pressure canning is not able to destroy botulism spores. For the health of your family, please DO NOT CAN THIS RECIPE. I just threw out all the jars I had canned."

I made a ton of this this Sumer when the garden was overflowing and now find it my go-to winter meal in a hurry. Served over pasta with ground beef or sausage and I have a tasty meal in 15 minutes. Tastes perfect as is. Easy to make. Wouldn't change a thing. -
We tweaked this recipe a bit, but it was delicious! We ended up making 21 qts. We had a lot of tomatoes and zucchini. We made our own sauce with tomatoes garlic and tomato paste then added our zuchini. Even the picky kids ate it! This will be our go to sauce! -
Darn darn darn GOOD !! Will modify this recipe just to make the sauce alone its so good. Wanted to slurp it up while making it. Wow. I would NOT add the salt to the pints, There is plenty in the initial recipe and I dont feel you need to use the slotted spoon & such... Its just as easy to ladle it out into pints. Thank you Food.com -
This was absolutely what the farmer ordered! Have cooked up 30 qts. I tweaked the recipe and added black pepper, and some chili powder for a little taste. My kids eat it right out of the jar, it is so good. The salt ratio is just fine... it help's tame the sweetness of the tomato puree.
