The difference between homemade tomato sauce and store bought sauce can be compared to the difference between fresh popped popcorn and opening a bag of ready popped corn as you settle in to watch a movie. The fresh one engulfs you in the aroma and temperatures blending with the crisp textures in your mouth. Open a bag of ready pop and watch a movie and I dare say you can't tell what it is you are ingesting!

Homemade tomato sauce is as different as those two pop corns! In a homemade sauce you have a freshness that can't be mistaken or overlooked to the discriminating palate! homemade sauces contain a wonderful warm and fragrant combination of herbs, spices, vegetables and even differences in the varieties of tomatoes used, changes one homemade sauce from another.

It is possible to 'punch up' a store bought sauce if absolutely necessary ( if you are using store-bought, it IS absolutely necessary). This can be done by adding fresh herbs, a fresh onion, bits of fresh pepper and a chopped fresh tomato or two.

Then again, if you are doing all that go homemade all the way as there really is NO comparison!
