It’s pouring here – a cool 54 degrees (F). The leaves are falling and it’s getting darker earlier, indicating summer is quickly coming to a close. We Alaskans often joke that we only have 2 seasons up here: winter and road construction. All joking aside, it’s true – we hardly have a spring or fall, but I personally love our quick excuse of a fall. I like wearing sweatshirts and fleece jackets, and being comfortable without freezing my buns off in sub-zero temps. ๐
All this cool weather we’re having makes me want to bake, cook, and load up my freezer for the winter. It’s full of Alaskan wild salmon and blueberries, but it could use a little more variety if you know what I mean. ๐ And a few things to make throwing dinners together on busy nights easier, like this Simple Homemade Pizza Sauce.
Pizza sauce can easily make or break a pizza, and I’m a very picky pizza sauce person (say that 10 x’s fast). The jarred variety I used to buy pre-gluten free wasn’t quite as healthy as I thought it was once I was forced to look at the label. Nor was it quite as tasty as this homemade version I freeze to have on hand whenever I need it. This simple sauce is delicious, and I bet once you try it, you’ll never want to buy the jarred variety again either!
This sauce is perfect on my Foolproof Gluten-Free Pizza Crust!
All my love,

Homemade Pizza Sauce Recipe
I freeze my Simple Homemade Pizza Sauce in glass mason jars, but I only fill the jars ¾ of the way full. This helps prevent the jars from breaking when the sauce freezes and expands.

This sauce is great! I’ve always wanted to try making my own sauce but never got around to it. No excuses now. ๐ Just think of all the possibilities with this sauce! Pinned.
Megan says
Thank you, Laura! Too bad we couldn’t have all of our kiddos get together and have a pizza party! ๐ That would be so much fun!

You can look at that photo and tell exactly how great this sauce is, Megan! I’d like to make some and freeze it, maybe in ice cube trays so I can pull out whatever amount I need. ๐ Thanks so much for sharing on Gluten-Free Wednesdays!

love this recipe! do you think it would still be good if it omitted the palm sugar? thanks!
Megan says
Definitely still good! Might be a little on the tangy side, but depending on your preferences, you might enjoy that. You can also use brown sugar/cane sugar as a substitute if you’d like. ๐

I freeze this in silicone muffin tins. I then pop them out and put them in a container and have 1/2 cup serving sizes for pizzas. If you only have regular muffins tins, you just put the pan in hot water for a short time just to release the sauce cups. Thanks for all the yummy recipes.
