Stir in vinegar, cook 30 seconds. Add broth and tomatoes, bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat for 55 minutes or until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.

Best sauces cook slowly over low heat. The final sauce should be thick, but not as thick as tomato paste. If it seems too thick, correct with a little water. Recommend freezing for up to 4 months in 1c. increments in zip top plastic bags.
