Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Medium onion -- thinly sliced
4 Cups diced canned Italian plum tomatoes
1 Cup tomato juice
2 garlic cloves -- peeled
1 Large jalapeno chile -- stemmed, seeded if
-- desired

Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over moderate heat. Cook the
onion until soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a food processor fitted with
the metal blade or a blender
Add the remaining ingredients except the salt and puree, in batches if you
are using a blender, until smooth. Pass through a medium strainer, pressing
with a spatula or wooden spoon to push through as much pulp as possible.
Pour into a sauce pan and add the salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer
and cook, uncovered, 20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Store in the
refrigerator 23 days or in the freezer for weeks.
Yield: about 1 1/2 quarts
