Pizza sauce — a delicious homemade recipe

Ingredients

Start here, then move straight into the method.

  • Basil
  • Garlic
  • Peeled tomatoes
  • Onion
  • Dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (to preserve the tomato color)
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Fresh hot pepper to taste — optional
  • Pizza dough recipe see the link Homemade Pizza Dough
  • For more of Rana’s special recipes see Steak with White Mushroom and Cream

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender except the oil and vinegar, and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  3. When it boils, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
  4. While hot, ladle the pizza sauce into sterilized glass jars. Drizzle olive oil over the surface, add the teaspoon of vinegar, and seal the jars tightly.
  5. Turn the jars upside down and leave them like that for 24 hours — this helps preserve them so they can be stored outside the fridge until needed.
