Description

A short jar of Uncle Dave's sun-dried tomato basil pasta sauce, 8 ounces (now empty), "serves 3-4 Covers 1 lb. pasta." Pasta sauce is said to be all natural with 5 percent of profits donated to charity. It is listed as being made in Uncle Dave's Kitchen, Route 30, P.O. Box 69, Bondville, Vermont.

Context

This pasta sauce received a write-up in the Chicago Tribune in 1992, with the writer saying he/she had previously written about a Vermont E-zippy Bloody Mary Fixin's (& dip mix) also produced by Uncle Dave. The new pasta sauces, according to the article, include this basil, plus spicy peanut and Tex-Mex. The company is own by "Uncle Dave's wife," Lynne, and their son, J.B. Lyon. The company apparently ceased operations in the early 2000s.
