Homemade Pizza Sauce from Scratch

I noticed that most (all?) of the pizza sauce recipes call for either tomato paste or tomato sauce or both. I wanted to do it from scratch! So I experimented until I got it right. This is much better than the store-bought sauce with none of the preservatives.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons garlic salt
• 10 roma tomatoes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place water, tomatoes, and olive oil in a blender or food processor; blend until smooth. Transfer tomato mixture into a large pot.

Step 2

Stir sugar, garlic salt, and vinegar into tomato mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 1 to 2 hours.

Step 3

Pour tomato mixture into a clean blender or food processor no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until very smooth. Repeat with any remaining tomato mixture.
