Canned spaghetti sauce

8 quarts of blended tomatoes. (Blended, if blender is nice)
4 Tbls oregano
1-cup sugar
½-cup olive oil (make sure it is olive oil)
8 onions chopped (chopped small puree)

1/2 Tbls cayenne pepper.
8 bay leaves
3 Scant Tbl basil
½-cup lemon juice.
1 stalk celery (optional)
If fresh tomatoes usually about 30-40 medium tomatoes will make eight quarts. (Steam and put through Vitoria juicer.)
Mix all ingredients  and simmer a couple of hours stirring often.  Put in roaster in oven to thicken.
Pour into jars.   12 lbs. 25 minutes  I like to due it in quarts and in pints, pints are perfect for pizza suace
