Julie's Spagetti Sauce

"My mom got this recipe from her friend Norma in Sault Ste Marie. This Spagetti Sauce is fantastic and it makes lots. Be prepared to freeze what you can not use right away. (I divide the sauce into three freezer friendly containers so that I can use it for three different pasta meals without having to thaw the whole batch). Expect to spend the better part of the day doing making this. Your efforts will be rewarded, I get so many compliments that I make a pot just to give it to family members as a Christmas gift. Tip - add chilli powder, hot sauce and kidney beans and voila, it's a chilli !"
