"This is the starter I usually use for a large pot of my pasta sauce. This starter is easy and takes little time, You can use half the starter (reducing amounts of canned tomatoes) and freeze the remaining half of starter to make another sauce at a later date, however if you want to use all the starter you will need three (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, and two (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, using a minimum 6-quart pot or larger because this makes a lot of sauce! When you make your sauce, please use a very good brand of Italian tomatoes, do not use a no-name brand, if you do the flavor will be reduced. After adding in the canned tomatoes, the sauce must simmer over low heat (after bring it to a light boil) for at least three hours, then cooled and refrigerated for one or more days before using, this will blend and intensify flavors"
