Merritt Family Pizza Sauce

As I mentioned in my previous blog, this is the pizza sauce recipe that goes with pizza night.  I absolutely love this recipe because its super easy and can be used on anything from pizza to calzones to pasta sauces.  It also freezes really really well.  Every time I make this now, I double it so I can keep half frozen in the freezer for future meals!  Enjoy!
