Homemade Red Sauce

I like using a more smooth red sauce when making spaghetti or small pasta dishes. 

I like to let this simmer in the crockpot for a few hours. Then I jar it and share with friends or just put it in the fridge. I have put in zip lock bags and put in the freezer , then just thaw it out when needed. 

2 tbsp EVOO 
1/2 c chopped onion 
1/4 tsp minced garlic 
1/3 c red wine vinegar 
1/4 tsp thyme 
1/4 tsp basil ( i like using fresh when I can) 
1/2 tsp oregano 
1/2 tsp salt 
2 tbsp parsley 
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce 
1/4 tsp pepper 
2 tbsp honey 
3 cans of canned tomatoes ( I have tried the different cans that have added herbs) I tend to get the diced up ones too 
3 6 1/2 oz cans tomato paste ( I say this many due to the texture u may want) 

Heat your oil and saute your onions and garlic ( dont burn them) 
Add everything else into your crockpot with your onions and garlic.. then simmer for an hr or two.
