Spaghetti Sauce

10 lbs. tomatoes, peeled and cored, or
1/2 bushel tomatoes processed into juice in food mill
3 med. onions
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. basil
1 tbsp oregano
1 small bottle Italian salad dressing (not creamy type)
1 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. ground black pepper
1 tbsp. sugar

Saute onions in olive oil until transluscent; do not brown. Add all other ingredients and boil slowly until reduced by half (about five hours). (Canning instructions: Put in canning jars and process in boiling water bath for 30 minutes.) Note: Makes excellent dip for breadsticks!! (Breadsticks: place separated Pillsbury refrigerated breadsticks on cookie sheet. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning and bake according to package directions. Delicious!!)
