Dad's Spaghetti Sauce

This is Dad's (Craigo's) Spaghetti Sauce recipe created when we had a garden and harvested an abundance of tomatoes. We do not like added sugar, so this recipe does not have any sugar.

3-4 medium Onions, chopped and microwaved until tender
12 C Tomatoes, cooked, seeded and peeled
36 oz. Tomato Paste
2 TBSP  Parsley
2 TBSP Salt (Lawry's)
1 1/2 TBSP  Oregano
1 TBSP Pepper
1 tsp. Ginger
1 tsp. allspice
Garlic - lots! (1 bulb) minced

Combine and cook all ingredients together until bubbling. Pour into  clean jars, (continually stirring mixture to keep onions from settling on the bottom), wipe rims with paper towel and lightly tighten the rings. Place jars into  canner; when steam flows out of vent, put on 5# and cook until jiggles. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, then allow to cool completely before removing the canner lid.
