I am a tomato sauce junkie! It's good to know that I can make my own, when I ever find time. lol

I love tomato sauce, and its very hard these days to find it in the store with no added sugar! So this looks like a great alternative!

Yes it is difficult to find it without added sugar. People like us aren't supposed to have the sugar and it is a good alternative.
