Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Grandma Esther did not use measurements for making this sauce, thus giving the DeGeorge family the open-ended recipe of trying to remake the sauce as good as she did. Some claim they have come close, but others realize it may not be that easy. Attempt at your own risk.
