My Pie Quest

[GunnCat]

Jim, I know. I used to think there was some secret to the sauce, but when I ate great pies I always swore to myself that the taste was so simple. My ex, who was Italian would say her nana would make sauce from just salt and pepper. The trick is finding the sweetest tomatoes you can find. Years ago I would add sugar, but I could taste sugar in my sauce; I don't like that. Let me know if you try again Jim. I highly recommend the starters from sourdo. I just made my first pie with the 2nd culture and it's awesome. Refresh the page and have a look at the new images.

I agree 100% that's why I grow my own tomatoes.....

Fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, a few herbs from the garden, fresh garlic, salt and pepper - and I always add a pinch of hot red pepper.....
