Are you still working on a spaghetti sauce?  I can't remember if you were just trying to eliminate HCFS or sugar all together.  If it was the HCFS I used a sauce from Aldi last night that has no HCFS, but does have sugar.  For $1.19 a jar I'll have to get more.

Even when I've made from scratch I tend to add even a little sugar so this doesn't bother me.

This is one of my favorites, but it's not cheap.

I think the results of the experiment were OK, not better or worse than from the jar, and did not end up being any cheaper, so she decided she wasn't going to replicate the effort.

This is correct.

We still have about 5 quarts of the experiment in the freezer, plus a few jars. I will definitely be investigating this Aldi sauce, though, after we go through that. If we don't go paleo, of course. ;)  (HAhahha. That's so not going to happen.)

The aldi ingredients were- tomato puree, diced tomato, sugar, garlic, spices, soybean oil, and citric acid.  I was cool that it was all identifiable.  I doctor with spices anyway.

they have some chocolate chip cookies that I LOVE, and the ingredients are like "flour, sugar, egg, baking soda, chocolate." (or whatever you need to make cookies). Not a single preservative, yet the expiration date would indicate otherwise.
