Salsa Di Pomodoro

This special family recipe was created by my great grandmother, Mary DiLanciano, from Lanciano, Italy. With a sweet spot for marinara and a knack for maintaining the zest and brightness of the tomato, her recipe stuck. Two decades later her granddaughter married a man with a green thumb and an enormous garden. The summer brought far too many tomatoes leaving her (my mom) without an option but to can the family recipe. Endless tomatoes and sauce for days.
