I have a secret that allows me to   make pizza   sauce for the whole year , in just a few hours ( and most of that time is spent drink wine and relaxing while the sauce does its thing ) . It ’s roasting ! You justhaveto examine this roast Lycopersicon esculentum pizza sauce made with garden - produce heirloom tomatoes .

blackguard the garlic and tomatoes fresh from the garden sweetens up the couldn’t - be - more - smart smell and mean there is no want to slave over your sauce to shrink it and build flavour .

This year I   started with some meaty beefsteak that were a natural endowment from my neighbour , but every year I just use the besttomatoes from the garden . The look will be different year after twelvemonth , but it ’s always delicious . I contract off the top of agarlic bulband have that sucker in the roasting tidy sum   too . mizzle a sizable amount of olive rock oil over the cut sides and bug out in the oven .

Now , go drink some wine .

When the roasting is done , bedevil the tomato into a expectant weed that you have perspire some onions in . Do n’t worry about the skins ! you may if you want to , I guess . They should easy pop off and if they do n’t , then just pass on them . You wo n’t notice them , I swear . Squeeze the roasted garlic from the cutis into the mass and simmer .

When you have cease your wine , snap up an engrossment blender and blend the whole thing up . Really give it a good shading if you left those tegument on , but really , you may do this with one hand ( leaving one free for more wine , mayhap ? ) . Leave the sauce to inspissate on the stove until you are well-chosen with the consistency .

Pack into clean jar and freeze to preserve .

you’re able to lead the sauce in unmistakable jolt , of course , but I like to pretty mine up a bit with labels and a little tag , especially if I am founder my sauce away as a gift .
