    Wonderful! I had some tomatoes that were going soft, about 3 cups, and I used that instead of one cup of tomatoes, keeping the other ingredients the same .. An excellent recipe! My husband loved this! Thanks for sharing, I will always use this recipe!

    What a great tasting sauce! I used two jalapeno and a cayenne chilli pepper.The depth and warmth of the chilli flavour was delicious.I pureed my sauce,but didn't make it completely smooth,just leaving a little textur.I also didn't bother to use the flour to thicken it,I didn't think that it needed it.This was added to taco meat with great success,and this morning I made breakfast enchiladas with it, to rave reviews.Thank you Miss Annie,for a great tasting easy recipe,that is so versatile.
