We usually make pizza from scratch a couple times a month, but sometimes we make a huge batch of pizza sauce and have good intentions of making pizza the next week. And then weeks go by and no pizza is made. ??You know how that goes. We decided to make a huge batch of sauce yesterday and then process what we didn’t use. We ended up with 2.75 qt jars of yummy pizza sauce that will be ready to go next time we have a craving for pizza. I usually use about 2 cups of sauce for 4 small pizzas, so it will last us a while. I grew up in a rural town outside of Buffalo, NY. Buffalo has some of the best pizza (and wings of course!) in the country. My family even tells me flat out when they come visit that under no circumstances am I to order out for pizza. ? I totally get it. Pizza is not stellar where we live now. What I really missed was the pizza crust from back home. Slightly chewy, crispy on the bottom, tasty pizza crust. I tired several dough recipes until I’ve found one that I love. We have also found that adding fresh basil on top of the sauce before adding the cheese brings the pizza to the next level. Our kids love cheese and pepperoni, but I need mushrooms on my pizza. ? I am hoping to have a good harvest of paste tomatoes so I can try making our sauce with fresh tomatoes instead of canned. ? #homestead #homesteading #vegetablegarden #homegrown #veggiegarden #homesteadlife #harvest #homesteadharvest #canningseason #gardenharvest #ballmasonjar #preservingtheharvest #sustainablefoodharvest #preservingfood #foodinjars #homepreserving #canning #ballcanning #pressurecanning
