SUE'S TOMATO SAUCE
My mom, Sue, has many variations on Italian tomato sauce. Every summer she cans a few SCD versions for me and drives them up on her visits. Each year she is inundated with tomatoes from her own garden as well as from friends who don’t know what to do with their excess. As a result, she has been steadily refining her sauce recipes for four decades! - Raman
