This is fabulous for pizza sauce when making a simple, classic Pizza Margherita. My neighbor Heather used this last summer on their pizzas, and I swear, it was the best pizza I have ever eaten!!
I made a number of batches as my tomatoes came in and stashed it away in the freezer for pizza this winter.
