3 large 28 oz cans of tomato puree
3 large 28 oz cans of plum tomatoes

pepper

Directions:
Directions:
Place 8 cut up cloves of garlic in oil to coat the bottom of a large sauce pot. Slowly cook them. (DO NOT LET THEM FRY OR TURN BROWN) add basil and pepper to taste.

Add the cans of puree.
Then add the plum tomatoes crushing with your hands as much as possible each tomato as you add them. This is easier to do when the puree you added first is NOT hot yet and you can submerge the plum tomato in it to squeeze and hand crush.

cook this 1/2 hr by itself.



Brown all meat; meatballs, sausage and braciole. (pork, beef and veal)
Add the meatballs, pork chop/ sausage and braciole to cook together. Simmer until meat is cooked through.
Sometimes you will need about 1/8 c. sugar to sweeten the sauce a bit... or to taste. DO NOT COVER.

Personal Notes:
Grandma would often have the pot simmering all day... cooking down. Don't be afraid to add all the pan juices you browned the meat in to the pot. The "gravy" is the best and most like Grams if it has those flavors.
