Pizza Sauce With Caraway Seeds

"My friend, Dan, gave me this recipe more than 30 years ago. It is delicious and so easy to make, and it freezes really well. The caraway seeds are the secret. When I make this sauce, I usually double it. This way, I can use about one-quarter of the mixture on the pizzas for that night. Then I freeze the rest—in three separate containers—for later use. A quarter of the mixture will cover about two large pizzas, but it depends on your preferences."

  1. The caraway seeds give this a real POP of flavour. For me it is an unusual combination but it certainly works. I put the sauce on a bought pizza base and added mushrooms and sundried tomatoes.
     
  2. Very yummy and so quick to make. I made this as written recipe, Hubby was working away and Little Miss (DD) and I wanted a quick yet yummy dinner. This was a perfect start. We topped our pizza with red onions, diced roast chicken, pineapple, mushrooms, cheese and fresh parsley. The sauce was wonderful, not to overpowering but a perfect balance with the rest of the pizza. Thank you Peggy Leggy for posting Dan's recipe
     
  3. Wow, what a great sauce! So easy to make and such a yummy flavour! Loved the addition of the seeds and also the thick texture.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, Peggy! <br/>Made and reviewed for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #50, March 2011.
     
  4. This made an excellent sauce for a quick pizza dinner tonight! I used used pork sausage and fresh mozzarella as toppings, and the caraway was very tasty with the pork. Yum! Thanks Peggy! Made for PAC Fall 2008.
     
  5. Awesome pizza sauce - I quadrupled the recipe so that I would have lots to freeze for future use. I used it twice this week for 2 different sleep-overs. I used it on the pizzas themselves, and also served extra sauce on the side to dip the pizza crust into. This is very similar to the pizza sauce I normally throw together - now I have actual measurements to go by! Thanks for posting - made for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap July 2008.
