From-Scratch Tomato Pizza Sauce
  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Put the water, tomatoes, and olive oil into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the tomato mixture into a large pot.

  3. 3

    Stir the sugar, garlic salt, and vinegar into the tomato mixture and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 1 to 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Pour the tomato mixture into a clean blender or food processor, filling it no more than halfway. Cover and hold the lid down; pulse a few times, then blend until very smooth. Repeat with any remaining tomato mixture.
