Notes: This is the way Mom always made her sauce when I was growing up. Wendy sent me a copy of this recipe and it was in Mom's handwriting. Mom noted that this was the recipe they made at the Marlowe Grill in Ironton, Ohio where she worked as a waitress before she married Dad. Mom said to add in a can of whole tomatoes. What she was talking about was a quart jar of tomatoes we canned from tomatoes raised on our farm. These tomatoes were so much better than anything you can buy today. They were responsible for the unique flavor of the sauce. Oh well, I guess we will just have to live with what we can get. To add some spice, I add in ¼ to ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
