    Let’s Talk About Tomatoes

    When you’re making a sauce, if you have “canning” tomatoes available to you, those would be perfect. There is a lot of water in something like a popular beefsteak tomato. There’s nothing wrong with that kind of tomato. It will be delicious, of course, and will make an excellent homemade pizza sauce. The only real difference is that you may need to cook it down a little longer than you would with something like a Roma tomato. Use the tomatoes you have available. You may just need to adjust your cook time.

    About the Seasoning Blend

    Mom uses Bragg Organic Seasoning quite often in both her cooking and as a sprinkle when serving. It’s delicious and I’ve used it in this recipe.

    To give you an idea about this seasoning, it includes most of the same herbs and spices that you would normally find in other Italian seasoning blends.

    Here are some of the ingredients in Bragg Organic Seasoning:

    • Rosemary
    • Thyme
    • Red Bell Pepper
    • Basil
    • Tarragon
    • Oregano
    • Coriander
    • Bay Leaf
    • Turmeric

    It’s a nicely unique blend but, if you are unable to find it, feel free to use your favorite Italian seasoning blend, or try making your own. Spend with Pennies has a recipe for Italian seasoning, if you would like to try to make your own Italian seasoning.

    A Little Something Sweet

    I’ve used a little bit of sugar in this pizza sauce recipe. You don’t need to add refined sugar. Use something different, if you prefer. There are lots of natural sugar substitutes at the market.

    If you prefer, you could add a little bit of fresh carrot or beetroot in the skillet when you’re cooking the onion. It will add that touch of sweetness.

    Notes

    If you won’t be using this sauce right away, freeze it in one cup containers for up to six months.
    If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, you can use a 28-ounce can of whole tomatoes, preferably San Marzano, which are similar to Roma in size and water/tomato ratio.
