| I don't like "chunks" in my sauce. Can I pour the jar into my food processor to break up the pieces so they're smoother? Will that work? |

| Yes, of course. |

| You can, or just put it through a strainer. |

| Why not just drop some red food coloring into water? |

| There are sauces without chunks...much easier. |

| This is the only way my kids will eat it. I also use an immersion blender. |

| No! Absolutely not allowed! |

| Use a blender. This is, after all, the precise reason for its existence. Or buy different sauce. Or, and here's a radical thought - make your own sauce. It's easy, healthier, better tasting, cheaper, and takes virtually no effort. |

| I literally do this every time I use jarred sauce. Love classico sauce but prefer smoother consistency. |

This is what I'd do. If you are going to use the blender, you might as well just make your own sauce. The whole point of opening a jar and dumping is to skip any sort of prep. |

This. It's literally not any harder to make actual sauce using canned organic tomatoes than it is to do what you're proposing. |

I bought marinara. You'd think that would be devoid of chunks. The least chunky plain sauce I've found is Ragu but I'm trying to make everything I eat healthier, and Ragu has more sugar than I'd like. |
