Homemade Pizza Sauce

Homemade Pizza Sauce is a must make at the beginning of spring is tomatoes are abundantly available and at a steal too. This sauce is tempered with Italian seasonings and cooked slowly for 40-60 minute to release complete flavor.

I am re-visiting my old recipes in new avatar it seems and this revisit is not intentional.

I have a pizza sauce recipe posted here but I decided to give it a separate entry as I myself end up perusing it quite often.
