The original recipe came from an old Good Housekeeping Cookbook. It used only dried oregano, no basil, and, of course, you can't have tomatoes without BASIL. I added the fresh basil and also like to use fresh Mexican Oregano, which I now have in my herb garden. It adds a little "zip" to the taste. I also use the sea salt and seasoned pepper rather than just plain salt and pepper. It makes it healthier and tastier. You could also use a sugar substitute to replace the sugar; however, it's not quite the same.
