Directions

Lay bacon slices in a large pot and turn heat on to medium. Cook until fat has rendered, about 7 to 10 min. Remove and set aside. Add butter to pan. Once melted, add carrots, celery, and onion and cook for 6 to 8 min. until softened. While vegetables cook, add parsley stems, California Bay Leaf, Black Malabar Peppercorns, and Premium French Thyme to a muslin bag or make a sachet using cheesecloth and twine. Add tomatoes, beef broth, honey, Minced Garlic, herbs sachet, and bacon into pot. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until sauce is slightly thickened and tastes slightly sweet. Remove sachet and bacon and discard. Serve as is or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.
