Ingredients:

- 10 pounds of fresh tomatoes
- 2 heads of garlic
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Cut the tops off of the garlic heads and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap them in foil and place them in the oven to roast for 30-40 minutes.
3. While the garlic is roasting, wash and chop the tomatoes into small pieces.
4. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, black pepper, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Once the garlic is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it cool. Once it's cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the tomato sauce.
7. Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
8. Bring the sauce back to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
9. While the sauce is simmering, prepare your canning jars and lids according to the manufacturer's instructions.
10. Once the sauce is done simmering, ladle it into the prepared jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth, then place the lids on top and screw on the bands.
11. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 35 minutes.
12. Once the jars are done processing, remove them from the water bath and let them cool on a towel-lined countertop. Once they're cool, check the seals and store the jars in a cool, dark place.
