  1. In a large stockpot, combine the following ingredients: (See ingredient list for exact measurements)
  2. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat. Cook for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. While the sauce simmers, prepare the onions and celery: Chop 3 medium onions and 2 stalks of celery. Add to a separate saucepan with 3 cups of water.
  4. Cook the onions and celery until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Transfer the cooked onions and celery to a blender.
  6. Puree until smooth.
  7. Add the onion and celery puree to the simmering sauce.
  8. Stir in 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon white pepper, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or your preferred sugar substitute – add after boiling for best results).
  9. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  10. Bring the sauce to a rolling boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Boil for 10 minutes.
  11. Carefully ladle the hot sauce into sterilized pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
  12. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth. Place lids and bands on jars and tighten fingertip tight.
  13. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time according to your altitude).
  14. Carefully remove jars from the water bath using tongs and place them on a towel-covered surface.
  15. You should hear a popping sound as each jar seals.
  16. Once cooled, check for a proper seal. The center of the lid should be indented.
  17. When ready to use, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to each jar before heating.
