Is she making tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce?

If it's tomato sauce, that might explain it. Use it as a base for your own spaghetti sauce - adding your own seasonings & tomato paste. You could use it as the liquid in a batch of chili, or add it to a cream sauce for tomato soup. Use it instead of tomato juice in a lasagna made without boiling the noodles.

tomato paste will thicken it. Yes a sugar will help with the acidity.

You may end up creating more sauce by fixing hers.

It may need some spice and you could simmer it with some meatballs and sausage.
simmering it for a while will also thicken it.

Ask her for her wonderful recipe and see what is missing or different about it by comparing it to a good tasting recipe.

Adding sugar is supposed to reduce acidity, but I'm not sure on how you could "thicken" the sauce. Could you use it in a tomato-based soup instead of over pasta?

I don't know if it will take the acidity taste away, but I have heard that putting a carrot in the jar of sauce will prevent it from getting that way...it's worth a try. If you do it, let me know if it works!
