Cooking Directions for Pizza Sauce:-

• In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil and slowly but completely sauté the garlic & onion. 
• Add tomatoes, salt, black pepper, oregano, basil and puree. 
• Bring all the ingredients to a boil, then simmer covered for about 90 mins. Stir occasionally, crushing the tomatoes with a masher. 
• Continue to mash, stir, and simmer until the sauce reaches the consistency of a rich soup.
• Next stain the freshly prepared sauce to get rid of seeds and skins and set it aside to cool.
