Pizza Sauce

Friday nights are pizza night around here. We love Fridays! We usually have homemade pizza but occassionaly do throw in a frozen pizza because those still have a place. :) There is, however, just something so wonderful about a homemade pizza complete with homemade dough and sauce.

This was the first and last pizza sauce I attempted. Sure, it wasn't perfect the first time but it only took a few little tweaks until I had this. It is a mildly sweet sauce but not overpowering. Though it does have quite a few ingredients it does not take long to put it together. I usually try to make it in the morning and then keep it in the fridge. I attempt to remember to stir it a couple of times throughout the day but even when I forget the sauce still tastes great!
