6. 6

   Add the tomatoes and stir.

7. 7

   Bring this to a boil then reduce the heat to a very very slow and low simmer so slow you can hardly see the sauce bubbling cook uncovered for 3-4 hours

8. 8

   Stir and taste for salt along the way and adjust

9. 9

   If need be add a little water along the way but only if the sauce begins to dry out. That will only happen if the heat was too high. So remember very very low heat.
