Stop in for a cup of coffee

Sounds yummy! I think Romas make the best sauce. I like to throw in a whole carrot when boiling them down to sauce to help remove some of the acidity. It's an old Italian trick, you leave the carrot in until it becomes soft and then take the carrot out and throw it away.

nice, thanks. though I'm canning for long term so i think i need the acidity? I'm not sure, first time canning solo, my grandparents used to do it and im just running off an old ball recipe book. it has me adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to each qt to raise the PH to prevent spoilage, or so it says?
