  Authentic Homemade Spicy Tomato Sauce Everything tastes better with hot sauce!! The Willowgate Community Garden in Mountain View, California is blessed with Mediterranean climate that is great for growing the tomatoes, chilli peppers, onions, garlic and fresh herbs required to make this sauce.  This sauce is very versatile and goes on pizzas, pasta and any number of meat and vegetable dishes.  It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato. ~ Lewis Grizzard This recipe makes 5 pint jars.  You can swap out the chilli peppers with basil if you prefer a sweeter sauce.
