Steps:

• Core and quarter 6 tomatoes and place in a large stainless steel saucepan.
• Bring to a boil over high heat. Using a potato masher, crush tomatoes to release juices, stirring constantly.
• While maintaining a boil and stirring to prevent scorching, core and quarter additional tomatoes, adding them to the saucepan as you work. Make sure the mixture continues to boil vigorously while you add, stir and crush the remaining tomatoes.

• Working in batches, press tomato mixture through a fine sieve, electric strainer, or food mill. Discard peels and seeds. Set puree aside.

• Ladle hot sauce into hot jars, leaving 1 inch headspace. Reduce air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot sauce.
