586.1Sugar! Oh No!!!ARCH::MANINATue Apr 21 1987 20:384
    Sugar?!?!?!?! If you use fresh pork(pork chops or ribs) this will
    sweeten the sauce naturally.

         I VOTE FOR RAISINS AND WINE, MAKES A GREAT SAUCE. A TOUCH OF
    FENNEL SEED WILL GIVE IT A VERY DISTINCT FLAVOR.
         WHERES THE MEAT BALLS???

    This is one of the best sauces I have ever made(accept for my 
    Grandmothers').  I substituted stew beef for the other meats in
    this recipe, and also used fresh tomatoes.  Sugar is a must for
    getting rid of their slight bitterness.  I've never heard of using
    raisins in sauce, maybe it's the secret ingredient my Grandmother
    won't give me!  Do you leave them whole?
