fresh ground pepper, to taste

2 Add the Tomato Puree; watch out for splatterage!

3 Add everything else and simmer uncovered on low, stirring frequently, for 30-60 minutes, until desired consistency.

4 Tips:.

5 Freeze leftover sauce until ready to use; When using on pizza dough, thaw to room temperature; Thaws nicely in the microwave.

6 Don't use too much pepper.

7 You can mince a baby carrot in the garlic press after microwaving it for 5-10 seconds- just cut it in half before putting it through the press- and that equals about 1/2 Tablespoon.

8 Either Light or Dark Brown Sugar is fine, but the dark brown sugar makes the sauce DEEP red- almost maroon.

9 If you want the sauce even sweeter, just add more Honey next time.
