HOMEMADE PIZZA SAUCE
For years, I had trouble finding a pizza sauce recipe my family liked, so I started making my own. The evening I served it to company and they asked for my recipe, I knew I'd finally got it right! When I prepare my sauce, I usually fix enough for three to four pizzas and freeze it. Feel free to spice up the sauce to suit your own family's tastes. -Cheryl Kravik, Spanaway, Washington

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes have a sweeter flavor and are less acidic than unripe tomatoes. This will result in a more flavorful sauce.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the sauce a smoky taste. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the stovetop.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a lot of flavor to pizza sauce. Be sure to use fresh herbs whenever possible.
- Don't overcook the sauce: Pizza sauce should be simmered for only a short time, just long enough to blend the flavors together. Overcooking the sauce will make it thick and bland.
- Taste the sauce before serving: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
