Warning: I blew $40 on a fancy jarred sauce and a $1.50 can beat it
I grabbed a $40 three pack of small batch tomato sauce at a farmers market in Portland two weeks ago because the guy swore it was the best thing I'd ever taste. Popped one open on a Tuesday and it was fine, not forty dollars fine, so I was pretty annoyed with myself. Then I found a $1.50 can of crushed tomatoes in my pantry, added garlic and a pinch of sugar, and it blew the fancy jar out of the water in about 10 minutes. Now I'm sitting here wondering why I ever paid that much. What canned tomatoes do you all keep on hand for sauce, and do you add anything besides salt and garlic?
