Cover the jars with hot water and leave on
Place all the jars in a large pot after having being wrapped each of them singularly in a cotton cloth to prevent they will break when cooking. Take the sterilized jars, lay the bottom of each with one or two leaves of basil and pour the tomato sauce using a funnel. Strain the tomato puree using a clean white cotton cloth and let it fall into a steel bowl or a saucepan. Once cooked for good, process the tomatoes through a food mill and put the puree into a big steel bowl. Put the tomatoes in a big pot and leave them to cook very well with the lid on. Take the tomatoes, small and wash very well then wipe them with a cotton cloth, cut them in half and remove the seeds. Wash and dry the jars then put them to boil or, to accelerate the sterilization process, in the dishwasher in the steaming mode. Allow the jars to cool and dry directly into the dishwasher so before using turn them over so that vapor and residual water evaporate. Place the jars and the lids in the dishwasher with the opening down and select a high-temperature wash, without soap. Before using them turn them over so that the vapor and residual water evaporate. Allow jars to cool in the pot with all the water and then pull them out and let them dry with the opening down. Cover with cold water and bring to boil on a high flame, letting it simmer for about 30 minutes. Place a clean cotton wiper on the bottom of a pot and place over the jars with the upward opening wrapped in towels individually.
