This is great, easy sauce. I mix it in a tall Lock n Lock container with my immersion blender, pop on the lid and pop it into the fridge for later use. Virtually no clean up. Nothing could be easier. Tasty -as good as, or better than- Contadina pizza sauce. I churn out homemade pizzas for grand kids (who are pizza experts) and this makes it effortless, especially if I put a slow proofing pizza dough in the fridge the night before.
