Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 1. 2 large cans Tomato Puree (I like Contadina, and often use diced tomatoes instead. I like chunky sauce!)
2. 2 small cans Tomato Paste
3. 1 TBSP sugar (supposedly takes the acidity away)
4. 4 garlic cloves sliced (I also add minced to the final product)
5. 1 TBSP olive oil
6. Seasonings to taste: Oregano, Basil, salt, pepper, thyme, fresh garlic and 3 big bay leaves. (remove them before serving) Optional seasonings: Italian, red pepper flakes...anything else you like
7. Optional veggies chopped such as onion, pepper, mushrooms etc.
8. Optional ground meats such as beef, bison, turkey, lamb etc. Pre-browned.

Notes: Grammy Durand made this about once a week. Uncle B LOVED it, and so did I. As it was cooking, I'd dip a clice of buttered bread into it. If I got caught, Grammy would yell at me.
I've tweaked it from her recipe over the years, depending on what I've had laying around for ingredients. I also make tons of it in the summer with fresh tomatoes (blanched, peeled, chopped) and then can it to use throughout the winter.
