I have yet to make, but I intend on trying with some tweeks as I am diabetic. Just wanted to add, this is technically SEMI-Homade since you use canned tomato paste. I get it . I know it takes a lot of time to make it totally home made. I did it years ago. . at my age now, this recipe works. I will come back and give a proper review when I do make it.
