Tips and Tricks
- cook this sauce in a large pot over low heat
- don't forget to stir this sauce occasionally. I have been known to walk away from my simmering sauce for too long and the bottom ends up burning which in turn, ruins the flavor of the entire batch
- you can chop the onion up and add it back into the sauce if you want that extra flavor
- to spice up the sauce add red pepper flakes
Storage
- store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days
- Freeze sauce for up to 3 months
