8. Within thirty minutes my sauce tasted good! Some folks like to add some brown sugar and salt to enhance the flavor. Some add a bit of flour to thicken. There is a split pea flour that I have added to the recipe (only 1/4 cup) but just experiment. It worked and tasted great!

 
9. I left mine cook longer because I am used to having a slow cooked sauce and like that flavor. I made my spaghetti noodles and we had a lovely meal!

 
10. I ended up using some of the final product as a pizza sauce the next day, too!
