Make Your Own: Mama's Spaghetti Sauce

This is straight from the family archives, my mom's famous crock pot sauce!

I use fresh tomatoes.

Combine in crock pot:

2 large cans tomatoes (peeled, whole) or 6-8 fresh ones
3 cans (6 oz) tomato paste
1/2 pack spatini OR a blend of italian seasonings to taste
1 chopped onion
1 chopped green pepper
bay leaf - optional
sugar- to taste (I don't usually add sugar)

Simmer on low in crock pot for 4-5 hours.  Stir occasionally.  Throw out bay leaf before serving.
