Ingredients
SERVINGS: 4 Cup(s)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup finely diced onion
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 pounds ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped, reserving juice
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1½ tablespoons chili powder
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar

Preparation
