  Combine all ingredients in a large covered pot. Simmer over low
  heat for three hours for desired thickness. If too thick, thin with
  a little water; If too thin, let the sauce cook uncovered over very
  low heat for 30 to 45 minutes longer.

  Seafood version:

  Omit pork. Add three or four medium, fresh cleaned blue crabs to
  the last hour of simmering. Let rest 30 minutes and shake sauce of
  crab and discard the crab. Serve with favorite pasta cooked al
  dente, lots grated parmesan cheese, Italian bread and a good chiante.

  Makes enough for two pounds of pasta.
