In reply to Kayla. I usually use this ratio: 3 tablespoons fresh = 1 teaspoon dried herbs. You can add more or less dried herbs to taste. You can always add more herbs but you can't take them away.

I can’t wait to make this! The dried herb to fresh herb ratio seems off. You mention later on in your notes that it’s one tablespoon of dried herbs to three tablespoons of fresh herbs, but the recipe calls for one teaspoon of dried to three tablespoons of fresh. We just a want to make sure we put the right amount in our recipe!!

In reply to Lindsay. Yes, you could. Saute onions/garlic in a large pot, then cook on low for 6-8 hours stirring occasionally. It's really no different than the crockpot and you don't save any time. Tomato sauce needs to be cooked for a while to remove the acidity and thicken up!

Can you make this recipe on the stove top?

This is basically my sauce recipe, but I use much more onion and garlic, plus I actually dove carrots, sauté them first then throw the onion and garlic in.

I haven’t used jarred sauces in years, and I love this recipe! It’s really great to have a crockpot option that tends itself. Since there are only two of us, I looked for silicone freezer containers, but I could not find the log-cube trays that aren’t made in China. I ended up buying the Zip Top brand cup-style containers and keep them sitting upright in a bin in the freezer to avoid any leakage. I love that they are made in the USA! Now I have a stash of yummy sauce at my fingertips. Thank you so much!

In reply to AS. yes. you don't really need tomato paste. It thickens on it's own. if you want to add a tablespoon or two feel free but it's not necessary!

Can you explain why there is no tomato paste? Is it just because it cooks for a long time? Thank you.

In reply to Cathy. 1/2 teaspoon of pepper :)

I just wanted to confirm that it is 1/2 tablespoon of pepper. That seems a lot but I guess it makes a lot of sauce.

I’m confused. Your recipe says 1 teaspoon of dried herbs but your notes say 1 tablespoon. Which is correct?
