We have homemade pizza every week. The kids make their own pizzas so I get the night off cooking. By using homemade pizza sauce and a second portion of veggies on top of the pizza, it’s a healthy balanced meal – just don’t tell my kids that!
Ingredients
- Tinned Chopped Tomatoes / 12 Tins £3.36
- Tomato Puree 9 tubes £2.43
- 125ml Lemon Juice 35p
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Basil
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder 10p
Total Cost = £6.24
Makes 16 jars = 39p per jar
How to Make Pizza Sauce
Open all the tins. This is honestly the hardest part! Empty the tomatoes into a large pan and put it on to boil.
Add the tomato puree into the pan.
Boil it for a good 15 minutes.
Blend the tomatoes until they are smooth.
Add the spices.
Ladle the pizza sauce into clean jam jars. Wipe the rims clean and secure the lids.
Boil in a hot water bath canner for 35 mins at boiling point, 100 degrees Celsius.
Makes 16 250ml jars

A Little Bit About Me . . .
Thank you so much for stopping by my corner little of the interweb. I’m Bridie, mum to two small humans, full time homemaker and full time craftaholic – which totally explains why I’m always short on time!

I’ve included links to my favourite retailers for the products I’ve used to make my crafts. Click on any of the product images and links for full details. If you decide to buy any of these products I may get a small percentage of what you spend. There’s no cost to you at all.
This is such a great idea and that pizza is mouthwatering! Thank you for sharing at Fiesta Friday party!
