Meat sauce

Ingredients:
1.5 lbs lean ground beef
1 lb ground pork (not sausage)
Good swirl of olive oil
1 red onion chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
15 oz can tomato sauce
12 oz can tomato paste
2-28 oz can crushed tomatoes (I like contadina)
4 cups chicken broth
4 tsp dried parsley
4 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dried basil
2 tsp dried marjoram
2 good dashes of ground nutmeg
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Chianti or good dry red wine
Heat the olive oil and saute the red onion. Add the meats and brown thoroughly. Add the garlic and cook a minute longer. Drain the grease and return to pot. Add all the seasonings with a little salt and pepper and cook another minute until fragrant.
Meanwhile stir together all the tomato products, brown sugar, and the chicken broth. Add to meat mixture and simmer for 30 minutes or so. Add wine here.
To can, I put in hot quart jars and process in pressure canner for 70 minutes with 10 lbs pressure.
Hope this covers it well enough.
