Spaghetti Sauce

(from Aunt Florence)

21 cups tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 cups chopped green peppers
2 cups chopped onions
1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
5 (6 ounces each) cans tomato paste
1 tablespoon plain salt
1 scant tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 package spaghetti sauce mix (mild)

Mix together and cook until as thick as you like it, stirring frequently. Fill pint jars to within 1/4", wipe off rims, seal. Process in a hot water bath for 30 minutes. Makes 12 pints. My kids also don't like the chunks so right before serving I use my submersable blender to blend up the sauce.
