Notes
- To use whole, peeled canned tomatoes instead of puree, pulse them briefly in a food processor, blender (or use an immersion blende)r to smooth out the texture.
- If not using right away, transfer the sauce to a covered container. Glass preserving jars are a perfect choice because they don't stain like plastic containers do.
- Pizza sauce keeps up to one week in the refrigerator and 2 months in the freezer. Thaw the container overnight in the refrigerator, or immerse in a pot of hot water (make sure your container is heatproof).
- This recipe yields about 3 3/4 cups sauce, which is enough sauce for at least six 12-inch pizzas or 2-3 larger pizzas.
