Â* I have a nice TOMATO SAUCE on the stove SIMMERING . Gee , I sure hope
it doesn't caramelize and turn all brown on me ! That would just TOTALLY
ruin the pizza I'm planning to make for dinner .

Nothing ruins a homemade pizza. Certainly never a sauce. IMO,
never a fail.

Â* I was criticized for simmering my tomato sauces (pizza and spaghetti)
by someone here - he knows who he is . This is just my way of saying
"**** you" to that person . FWIW , my wife thinks my pizza is the best
she's ever had , same with my spaghetti . That's good enough for me , no
one else's opinion matters . Last night's hamburger steaks with mushroom
gravy made her smile too ... served over medium egg noodles with green
peas for her and corn for me , she made us a nice green salad to go with .

You've probably found that you will be criticized by some posters for
absolutely anything you post, but how you and your family like things,
ingredients used etc. is the ONLY thing that counts. I always simmer my
sauces, and I've had no complaints here either.

I am a bit confused here. How else will it get cooked if you don't simmer
it??

No reason to ever cook tomato sauce for pizza, it'll cook plenty
enough in the hot oven.

When I make a pizza, I'll generally open a can of tomato paste and slater it on the dough. Then I season it with salt and pepper and some Italian seasonings. Wonderful stuff!

When I first moved out on my own, I simmered my tomato sauces forever. I
often used tomatoes that I had grown in my garden.

I no longer do that. Not that it's bad thing to do. I just don't like
Italian food that much for it to matter. Now I sometimes buy canned or
jarred sauces or even just use an plain tomato sauce or puree, perhaps
adding additional seasonings. I realized that for the most part, if I were
eating pizza or pasta it was either a quick meal or I was just using up
ingredients.

Â* Nothing quick about either here , and we buy ingredients on purpose
for these dishes . I figure what I cook is just as important as the most
expensive cabinet I ever built - and it also deserves my best efforts .
And the results make it worth the effort . BTW , the tomatoes used today
were grown and frozen right here at The 12 Acre Wood .

Don't worry too much what many say here. Most of us are idiots ;-)


On tmato sauces, I tend to a long simmer. THat may have to do with my
ingredients. I then reduce the back portion for pizza.

I get a little fancier but thats because I like to play with tomato
sauces.

The McCormick brand does get good reviews! I get one off savory spice
shop that I like but it is much similar.

One I find useful here, is the brown gravy mix. Much cheaper than by
package and is a base for many of our curry dishes.

Â* These are both sauces with a lot of spices , it's important that the
flavors blend and interact . My spaghetti sauce doesn't taste all that
good at first , the flavor comes out after a minimum of 3-5 hours on the
back burner .

I don't know a thing about Italian cooking but I can whip up a pretty good spaghetti sauce with that mix and some canned tomatoes. It's freakin' awesome sauce.

I seem to recall a "Honey Booboo" episode where Momsy just mixed equal
amounts of ketchup and butter.

Honest, I do not have a habit of watching the show. I was switching
channels and I dropped the remote control. By the time I got the batteries
back in, it was too late.

It sounds like your exposure to any Honey Booboo emissions was not long enough to cause any permanent damage. To be sure, you probably shouldn't leave your house after dark and try to stay away from any products containing corn - especially grits. I shall pray for you.

I just checked on Wikipedia, and I can see why you are concerned. I would
like to know more about the roadkill recipes though. Not the actual
recipes, just what species were involved.

Yes, I use tomato paste too. D prefers it so why go to all the trouble of
making sauce)) I haven't seen that seasoning but I will have a look. He
only likes ham and pineapple to top it with plenty of mozzarella.

I seem to recall a "Honey Booboo" episode where Momsy just mixed equal
amounts of ketchup and butter.

Honest, I do not have a habit of watching the show. I was switching
channels and I dropped the remote control. By the time I got the batteries
back in, it was too late.

Hopefully you do still season the tomato paste though? Just plain

missing out on so much better...

I would probably like that. I do love ham baked with a combo of
crushed pineapple and brown sugar poured over top, then into the
oven. Once done, that mix really compliments the ham flavor.
Do you make that for him?

Dust with a very small amount of fenugreek. That goes good with non-fruit
sugar sources. (Agave, molasses / brown sugar, maple syrup.)

This suggestion for candied ham, NOT pizza. Lots of pineapple might skew
the Henning's 'smell prism' co-ordinates. (Compare Crocker-Henderson
system, stereochemical theory, Zwaardemaker smell system.)

Â* We like to load 'em up . Last night's offering was topped with onions
, mushrooms , sliced black olives , ham , Italian sausage , hamburger ,
pepperoni , and mozzarella cheese with a little bit of cheddar added .
Mama's side was very light on cheese because of allergies , so I put
hers on my side <evil grin> . One thing I learned when I worked for
Pizza Hut was not to center load the pie . A pile in the middle makes
for soggy crust and underdone toppings .

Â* BTW , that crust last night turned out fine . First time I've frozen
homemade dough and successfully thawed it out and used it . Next time
I'll allow more time for warmup and rising , I had to use the oven as a
proofer to get it going on time .

I prefer to keep my smell prism co-ordinates intact!

I find plain tomato paste (in the US) much too thick to spead on a
pizza crust by itself. I mix the paste with either tomato sauce or
crushed tomatoes to get the consistency we prefer. I add a modest
prinkling of Penzey's minced garlic along with a sprinkling of
Penzey's Italian herb mix. I top that with a mix of mozzarella and
provolone.

David only likes cheese pizza. For mine I usually add coarsely
crumbled Italian sausage or pepperon, and slivers of onion and green
pepper. I've had ham and pineapple pizza and really enjoyed it, but
Iwouldn't bother with it for just myself.

I usually make my own dough, but in a pinch I will use a Boboli crust
for a very quick assembly before baking.

Whatever is good for you) I do always make my own crust, but I am weird
like that you know ;p

I get tomato paste in tubes and it isn't too thick, but I do always mix some
Italian seasoning in with it) With ham and pineapple and mozzarella he
is one very happy hubby)))

I would imagine that your pizza is pretty good if you worked at Pizza Hut. I've made a bunch of pizza but not on a professional level. A few were made with kim chee sauce instead of a tomato based sauce. That's very hot and good. Here's photos of one made with pesto and one with lingonberry jam with blueberries and marshmallows.
