### SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITHOUT MEAT

    30
    lb. tomatoes

    1
    cup chopped onions

    5
    cloves garlic, minced

    1
    cup chopped celery or green pepper

    1
    lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)

    4-1/2
    tsp. salt

    2
    tbsp. oregano

    4
    tbsp. minced parsley

    2
    tsp. black pepper

    1/4
    cup brown sugar

    1/4
    cup vegetable oil

        YIELD:  About 9 pints

        PROCEDURE:  CAUTION: DO NOT INCREASE THE PROPORTION  OF

    ONIONS,
     PEPPERS OR  MUSHROOMS.  Wash tomatoes  and  dip  in

    boiling
     water  for 30 to 60 seconds or until  skins  split.

    Dip
     in  cold water and slip off skins.   Remove  cores  and

    quarter
     tomatoes.   Boil 20 minutes,  uncovered,  in  large

    saucepan.
      Put through food mill or sieve.   Saute  onions,

    garlic,
     celery  or peppers, and mushrooms (if  desired)  in

    vegetable
    oil until tender.   Combine sauted vegetables  and

    tomatoes
    and add remainder of spices, salt  and sugar. Bring

    to
     a  boil.   Simmer, uncovered,  until  thick  enough  for

    serving.
      At  this time the initial volume will  have  been

    reduced
     by  nearly  one-half.   Stir  frequently  to  avoid

    burning.
     Fill hot jars,  leaving  1-inch headspace.  Adjust

    lids
    and process.
