Mostly From Scratch Spaghetti Sauce

[jennythereader]

A big pot containing all of the following is simmering away on my stove right now:

3 medium onions
minced garlic
1 30 oz can of tomato sauce
basil
thyme
oregano
rosemary
salt
black pepper
cayenne pepper
balsamic vinegar
sage vinegar
cherry cordial
1 green bell pepper
16 tomatoes of at least 2 varieties

I didn't really measure anything, or follow a recipe, so I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. It sure smells like spaghetti sauce though.

If anyone has suggestions for other things to toss in, let me know.

I'm a tomato sauce purist -- I go with relatively few ingredients:

Canned diced tomatoes
Tomato paste
Salt
Black pepper
Oregano
Basil
Pinch of sugar
Sprinkle of red wine

But it sounds like complexity was what you were going for.

Mostly I was trying to use up my fresh tomatoes before they went bad. Everything else I threw in because I thought it sounded good. :)

it sounds delicious. I'd add mushrooms, but that could also be done at the reheating stage if they are wanted.

Great idea!
