Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I am happy with this very smooth sauce canned in pint jars. Because it calls for "non-peeled" tomatoes, this goes in the pot pretty quickly. After a quick boil, a food mill does the work - I use 2 passes...big holes for the skins followed by small holes for the seeds & a smoother product. A final simmer to reduce/thicken and it's ready for the canner. I will come back here for sure as the summer progresses.
