"This is a great tasting sauce I make during tomato season. Make sure you use ripe tomatoes, the riper the tomato the better the sauce tastes. This sauce freezes well so it’s perfect for when unexpected guests drop in for dinner. I have made this with wild ground meat, ground lamb, griund chicken and ground turkey and all worked well."
