This is my favorite red sauce. It is great on pizza. It also makes a wonderful spaghetti sauce, and it is a great base when making chili.
It is very versatile, and has a wonderful, rich flavor.
During the gardening season I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned. I simply simmer them in a heavy pot over the stove, crushing them down, and then strain them to separate out the skin and pulp.
I also like to throw a couple of browned Italian sausages into the crockpot to give the sauce even more flavor.
