Best 5 Garden Fresh Pizza Sauce Recipes

FRESH TOMATO PIZZA SAUCE

Steps:

• Halve the tomatoes lengthwise through the stems. Squeeze the tomatoes over a bowl or sink to remove the seeds and watery centers. Chop the remaining tomato flesh roughly and transfer to a food processor. Add the oil, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt and some pepper and pulse until mostly pureed with some small chunks. Pour into a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl and let some of the watery liquid drain, shaking gently for about 30 seconds to help it out. Pour the tomato sauce into another bowl or jar and use immediately or refrigerate up to 1 day.

PIZZA SAUCE WITH FRESH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Cut an "x" in the bottom of each tomato. Fill a large mixing bowl with ice water.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes to the boiling water until skins start to curl, about 30 seconds. Remove tomatoes from the boiling water and submerge in the bowl of ice water. When tomatoes have cooled enough to handle, remove from ice water. Remove and discard tomato skins; transfer tomatoes to a blender.
• Blend tomatoes until liquefied, and transfer to a medium saucepan. Add onion, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium heat until sauce reduces to desired consistency, 60 to 90 minutes.
• Puree sauce with an immersion blender until smooth. Use sauce immediately, or store in the refrigerator overnight to allow flavors to develop.

OUR VERY FAVORITE HOMEMADE PIZZA SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the olive oil.
• Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about a minute. If you're using dried oregano, add that along with the garlic. If you're using fresh, add it to the sauce at the end of the cooking time.
• Increase the heat to medium. Add the tomatoes, sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
• Leave over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until boiling. Reduce heat to low for a nice simmer.
• Gently simmer uncovered for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in fresh oregano, if using that instead of dried.
• Allow the sauce to cool to a safe temperature and then, using an immersion blender or working in batches with a blender, puree sauce.
• Assemble pizza using your delicious homemade sauce, or refrigerate until ready to use. Keeps well in the fridge for about 4 days. I love to freeze this sauce in individual-pizza portions, too.
