    will sure try this. by the way if you don't have calamansi juice in your area, you can substitute it with lime juice

    I had to look up what calamansi was, this recipe sounds similar to one I make. My husband loves them.

    I like the addition of the raisins; something we would not normally mix with tomato (pizza) sauce, but I bet it's really good!

    Wonderful recipe! One question, though: I think a calamansi is a citrus-like fruit? Tastes like bitter orange? We don't get them here (that I know of)....I'm trying to come up with a substitute...
