What can you use instead of the wine
I use a splash of red wine vinegar (not wine) for flavor, but you can skip it if you’d like.
Wow this was really good!! Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks, Sarah! Glad to hear you liked it. 🙂
How long can you store this if I make twice the amount?
Ree, I always freeze what I don’t use within a few days. I’m guessing it would keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
Yum! I love making my own pizza sauce. 🙂
Me too! It’s so easy, there’s no reason to buy it in a jar.
