There is something wonderful about making things from scratch, especially sauces. The idea alone evokes a grand vision, one that will have your guests picturing you standing over your boiling creation, spoon in hand, steam curling your hair, and sauce splashed over your apron - working diligently just for them! Although not quite so dramatic in the real world (unless you're a scattered cook like me), making things from scratch makes people feel special; and what could be better than that?
Although there are many fantastic canned enchilada sauces out there, making your own is not as difficult as you might think. Doing so allows you to not only control the ingredients you put in, but also enables you to add your own personal and creative flair, which is really what cooking is all about in my opinion.
