Ingredients:

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• 2 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes

Directions:

1. In a large pot heat the cannaoil over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.

2. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves.  Loosely cover the pot with a lid. 

3. Add the sugar.  Use more sugar to achieve the desired flavor.

4. Simmer on low heat for at least 1 hour or until desired thickness is achieved.

5. Remove bay leaves and taste check. If the sauce as an acidic flavor add cannabis butter one tablespoon at a time until you have the desired flavor.
