Dunno the difference, but I do know that Harry's Tomato Sauce is one
of the very best things you can put on spaghetti.

Harry's Tomato Sauce

Recipe By :Harry Demidavicius
Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :2:15
Categories : Sauces/Gravies

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 large carrot -- cut in large chunks
1 stalk celery -- cut in large chunks
1 medium onion -- cut in large chunks
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground fennel -- (Carol's addition)
28 ounces Italian tomatoes -- crushed
1 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup fresh parsley -- minced

1. Blend the carrot, celery, onion, garlic, oil, and oregano in a food
processor until emulsified.

2. Empty the tomatoes into a large saucepan on medium heat and mash
them. Stir in the vegetable mixture. The resulting blend should be
quite thick & look reddish with traces of green & yellow visible. When
it starts to bubble turn down the heat & simmer uncovered for about
90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced & blended into
a sauce.

3. Add in the wine and continue to simmer for a few more minutes. Stir
in the parsley simmer for 5 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings
and remove from heat.

4. The sauce may now be served over pasta or stored in the
refrigerator in tightly capped 28 ounce jars.
