From Garden to Jar: Homemade Tomato Sauce (with Canning Tips)
Make it once, enjoy it all season - here’s how

Hi foodie,
Summer is slowly coming to an end, and while I’m already busy working on cozy new fall recipes for you (stay tuned 👀), this season is also the best time for canning. That’s why I just updated one of my favorite DIY recipes—my Homemade Tomato Sauce.
This recipe did really well on YouTube, but for some reason didn’t get much love on the blog. So I gave it a big refresh! While I didn’t add new photos this time, I did add detailed canning tips, storage instructions, variations, and tons of helpful info. Plus, I included plenty of ideas on how to use the sauce in your everyday cooking.

There’s nothing better than a big batch of rich, flavorful tomato sauce. Perfect for canning, freezing, or using right away, it’s the kind of recipe that makes meal prep so much easier.
In Case You Missed It…

In my last newsletter, I promised you a written recipe for my Stuffed Pasta Shells video. Well, it’s finally here on the blog—just in time to pair perfectly with this sauce!
