Personal Notes:
Gram loved to let her sauce cook for many hours. Every Sunday we would gather at her house after church for a pasta meal. Thursday nights too. Aunt Boop's was always sure to have everything available for Gram and all of us. What a saint she is!

While living on our Buck's County farm, Bob and I actually grew most of the ingredients. In the early days we had the DIY farming bug. We put up an average of 40 quarts of homemade sauce each year. When the girls were young we would enjoy making sauce from scratch occasionally with Grammy Weil. Great memories!
