Stacey's Spaghetti Sauce for Canning

I hope Stacey doesn't mind, but I asked her for this recipe and have since made 12 batches of it. It is really good, and worth the time. I didn't put the meat in it, so I only had to put my jars in the water bath for 30 minutes. If you put the meat in, you pressure can it for 70 minutes. You can also just eat it right after you make it. We had some yummy breadsticks and this one night.
