I can't believe I haven't reviewed this....sorry. I have canned this sauce for two years now. We really like the flavor of this. My only complaint is its a little runny. No problem, I thicken it up a bit when making lasagna but when making spaghetti its perfect. I love the veggies in this sauce...yummy. Thank you for my forever spaghetti sauce.....Stephanie

Hi. I live in Saskatchewan Canada in a town, population 17,000. I have lived here about 26 years. I work in a dentists office as a Dental Hygienist. I have 4 children, all girls, ages 43, 39, 33, 25 plus 2 granddaughter, 21 and 15 and 1 grandson age 10 and 1 great granddaughter age 1. When I was growing up I learned to cook from my mom and I still love to cook. My sister has made two cookbooks and I helped her with the last one. My favorite cookbook are like the ones my sister did, the family favorites and community organization cookbooks.</p>
