Correction - Vita's Tomato Sauce

[Guest guest]

Karen asked if 1 tbsp salt was correct in the recipe I just posted for

the tomato sauce. According to the book, that is what it is. I cut that

amount in half when I made it but forgot to mention that in the notes of

the recipe. Here is the corrected recipe (I put a different amount of

salt in place of the 1 tbsp). That is what it should be - 1 tbsp is alot

for 4 cups of sauce. Also, the recipe calls for 1/2 tsp of black pepper

which doesn't seem like a lot but it was quite spicy but my 4 year old

loved it.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

 

* I used 1/2 the amount of oil. Felt that 1/4 cup was an awful lot.

Didn't spoil the taste.

 

** The recipe called for 1 clove. That is not enough for me so I added

another 2 cloves.

 

*** I didn't have white wine so I used some broth.

 

I would lessen the amount of black pepper if I make this again. It

didn't seem like a lot when I read the recipe but it tasted quite

peppery when I made it.
