I used to make my sauce from scratch using home canned tomatoes and tomato paste...the Hunts/DelMonte canned sauces are actually better and I make no apologies for using them when I get such a better sauce. Hunts gives a more deep rich tomato flavor. DelMonte creates a sweeter sauce. Adding the herbs to the TOP of the sauce as it simmers pulls the natural oils from them and I think adds a better flavor than mixing them into the sauce from the beginning, which can turn them bitter. I LOVE adding canned mushrooms to my sauce but I have family members who pick them out..not cool.
