Ingredients
- 29 ounces tomato purée
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 whole bay leaves
Instructions
- In a 3 to 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, whisk the tomato puree and tomato paste until smooth.
- Add the minced garlic, sugar, onion powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, oregano, basil, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and whole bay leaves. Stir well to combine.
- Allow the pizza sauce to come to a very low boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat. Remove the bay leaves.
- Spoon the pizza sauce into 2-pint size canning jars. Allow the sauce to cool slightly without lids.
- Once cooled, place lids onto the jars and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
- Make sure you are buying tomato purée rather than tomato sauce for this recipe. The tomato purée will give you a more flavorful pizza sauce.
- This perfect sauce freezes really well, so you could make a big batch and freeze the extras for later.
- You can add up to 2 extra tablespoons of fresh minced garlic for a stronger garlic flavor.
