Homemade Simple Marinara Sauce Recipe

For this recipe I use the really big can of crushed tomatoes that Costco sells.  I divide the recipe into 2 half gallon mason jars.  You can freeze one or you can pull the air from the jar to help it keep longer in the frig.  I use a FoodSaver.

If you don’t have half gallon jars, you can mix everything up and then store in smaller jars or in storage bags.

Divide the 53 ounce can of crushed tomatoes evenly between 2 half gallon jars.  Then to each jar add:

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried oregano

1tsp dried parsley

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Blend with an immersion blender.  No need to heat.

The uses for this are endless.  You can pour out just what you need.  Having this in the fridge really cuts lunch or dinner prep time.

1/2 cup of this sauce will have about 3 g of carbs and about 85 calories.
