I don't use a recipe just add whatever I think should be in the sauce such of tomatoes of course onions, basil, parsley, pepper, cayenne pepper, green & red peppers, and of course a variety of hot peppers I grow in the garden. Throw it all into a large pot and let it simmer till most of the juice is cooked down. Then I put into jars and into the canner for however long it calls for. So each batch will taste differently but I do a taste test to see if it has the zing I'm looking for. If not I add most spices.
