INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 3 quart non-aluminum saucepan.
Add the onion, celery, and carrot and saute over low heat until the
vegetables just begin to color. Use a slotted spoon to remove the
vegetables to a plate. Set aside until needed. 2. Add the remaining
tablespoon of oil to the pan and saute the ground
pork until it is lightly browned. Pour off and discard any excess
fat from the pan and return the vegetables to the pan. 3. Puree the
tomatoes and add them to the saucepan along with the mint,
parsley, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and
simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours. This sauce
may be refrigerated in a tightly covered container for up to one week. It
can also be frozen for up to 4 months. ~--

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
