Garden Fresh Pizza Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 pounds very ripe plum tomatoes or Roma tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- 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, salt and some pepper and pulse until mostly pureed with some very 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 hasten complete drainage.
- Pour the tomato sauce into another bowl or jar, use immediately, freeze or refrigerate for up to 1 day.
