This was so very delicious!! My DH ate til he was so stuffed. It was really easy to come together.I fellowed the recipe as directed but did let it simmer in skillet about a hour. We love the flavor of the sauce and I was told that I had to make this up at the lake this year so everyone can have a sample. You have a great recipe here Pines! THanks for sharing it.

OK lets see...My name is Diane and I'm married to a wonderful guy -- going on 20 years. We have 2 kids -- 1 daughter and 1 son a 70lb german shepard, a fat cat and a very snobby cat! I work a couple of days a week in the Loop and the rest of my time is spent sitting at the kids sporting events. I love to try new recipes. Luckily, hubby will try just about anything. The kids aren't so eager about that, but are generally very good sports about it!
