"This is an awesome recipe for sauce that is ever evolving, It started out as a recipe that I found and have tweeked for the last 15 years and my family loves it every time I make it. I find the sauce to be much better the next day, once it has cooled and been reheated but that is just a personal preference. Enjoy"
