    Jarred pasta sauce for basic tomato sauce is usually pretty crap. Adding dried herbs, vinegar and sugar to a tin of tomatoes, with onions and garlic and simmering for a prolonged period is always better. It literally is just chucking the 5 basic ingredients together. The only fresh and chopping is onion and garlic. Also, so much cheaper and you feel like a real cook.

      Not only is it generally crap, but they all seem to be sweet. Tomatoes are naturally acidic. But I rather just plop it on my dish since I am lazy and hate doing dishes.
