Sweet and Spicy Pizza Sauce Recipe
Description
This Sweet and Spicy Pizza Sauce Recipe starts with 14 ounces of fire-roasted tomatoes, which deliver a smoky undertone essential to its flavor profile. Honey adds sweetness, balanced by the heat from sriracha. Garlic granules and balsamic vinegar contribute subtle savoriness and acidity, respectively, while salt and black pepper season the sauce. Blending these components results in a smooth, uniform consistency.
Simmering the sauce on a medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes thickens it and allows the flavors to meld thoroughly. The sauce's texture becomes slightly concentrated, making it ideal for spreading on pizza dough without becoming watery. Its combination of sweetness and spiciness complements traditional pizza cheeses and toppings, enhancing the overall taste experience.
The sauce can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to five days. It also freezes well, making it convenient for meal preparation or future use. For substitutions, regular diced tomatoes can replace fire-roasted ones if needed, though the smoky character will be less pronounced.
Ingredients
- 14 ounce fire-roasted tomatoes see notes, canned
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon garlic granule each
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar each
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the ingredients into your blender and blend on high until smooth.
- Pour the sauce into a small pot over medium-high heat. When the sauce starts to boil, reduce the heat so the sauce simmers, and place the lid halfway on to prevent splatters. Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
- Use the pizza sauce right away or store it in your fridge for up to 5 days. It also freezes very well!
Notes
- If fire-roasted tomatoes are unavailable, regular diced tomatoes can be used as a substitute.
- Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze it for longer storage.
