Tom, thanks.

We do boil it for several hours to reduce it, but instead of all these sauces which take so long, we have decided to just can the tomato puree. The machine removes all seeds and skins out one end and spits the puree into the pot (LARGE BEER brewing pot). The batch is so big, it takes 3-6hrs of boiling it to reduce it. We then throw it in the jars and bath it.

gonna have to get some acid just to be sure though. Too bad, I already (I should say the 3 of us garden "partners") have canned 48 quarts of the puree, and will no doubt get another 30-40 qts.
