I'm a bit confused. If can can green beans, chicken, fish, or anything else using a pressure canner, why can I not make my own tomato sauce with garlic, onion, oregano, basil, olive oil and whatever else I decide to put in it? I've seen recipes, scratch that, ONE recipe online that is said to be safe. You'll recognize it because it starts with "30 lbs Tomatoes".

I want to whip up my own sauce, made on the fly without a set recipe, seasoned as I go, and can it using my pressure canner. What is wrong with that? If I can safely can a whole chicken, why not a mix of veggies?

Thanx!
