I think if your husband likes the store bought brands, and doesnt like too much of a tomato taste, I think the high sugar/ salt is necessary. In addition, a little parmesan cheese ( not a lot) would mask some of the tomato flavors as well as a little cut up green pepper ( which is typically not in the store bought sauces, but does a good job adding a different flavor). Also, some tomato paste to thicken the fresh tomato sauce would make the consistency similar.
