Nana used to store this sauce in jars so she would always have it on hand!

What made Nana’s sauce special wasn’t just the ingredients—it was the love, the patience, and the intention behind every batch. She simmered it low and slow, letting the flavors meld into something comforting and bold. And then, like a little kitchen alchemist, she sealed them into jars, ensuring that a piece of her heart was always within reach.

Now, every time we twist off the lid and catch that first whiff, we’re reminded: some things are too good not to share—and too precious not to save.

So here it is—Nana’s recipe, just as she made it. Store it in jars, just like she did, and you’ll always have a little bit of home on hand.
