Fill a large pot to the halfway mark with cold water and bring to a boil. Place tomatoes in the water to simmer until the peel begins to curl. Remove tomatoes, peel and cut in quarters. Place in a bowl.

In a large pot, heat olive oil; add garlic and herbs and cook for approximately 2 minutes. Add onions and cook until translucent but not browned. Add tomatoes and remaining ingredients; simmer for 40 to 60 minutes, until mixture has a stewed consistency.

Bottle and process in a water bath. If a water bath is not your preference, you can also use a pressure cooker.

Makes about 10 jars, depending on the size of the vegetables.
