Homemade Pizza Sauce

For the past couple of years we have made our own pizza sauce - we will never go back to store bought sauce or plain tomato sauce.  This stuff is amazing!  This even smells amazing as it simmers on the stovetop.

29-30 oz. tomato sauce
12 oz. tomato paste
1 tbsp. italian seasoning
1 tbsp. oregano
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Combine all ingredients in a heavy saucepan.  Bring to a boil stirring constantly.  Once to a boil decrease temperature, cover and simmer for 1 hour; stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.  Spoon into freezer containers and freeze until ready to use. **I put our sauce into 1/2 cup freezer containers and that is enough for us, it will cover one pizza.
