How to Make Pictou County Pizza Sauce

  1. Step 1: In a large saucepan, combine the diced onions, garlic, and olive oil. Sauté over medium heat until softened and translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  3. Step 3: Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let the sauce simmer gently for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  4. Step 4: After 2 hours, taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more sugar for sweetness, salt for savoriness, or herbs for depth of flavor.
  5. Step 5: Continue simmering for another hour for a richer, thicker sauce. (Total simmer time: 3 hours)
  6. Step 6: Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly before blending with an immersion blender (optional). If you prefer a smoother texture, blend until your desired consistency is reached.
  7. Step 7: Once cooled, taste and adjust seasoning one last time. Your Pictou County Pizza Sauce is now ready to be used on your favorite pizza!
