Sensational Spaghetti Sauce image

Simple, delicious, sweet like my mother's recipe from long ago, a great spaghetti sauce that I make for company and other special occasions, like my son's birthday. It's from a junior league cookbook, "Creme de Colorado". One of my favorite things about cooking is dumping several ingredients in a pot and having it turn out delicious. This recipe is like that.
