For many years I have been experimenting on making marinara sauce for pizza. I used to struggle with the consistency because the pizza would always get soggy. Though making a thicker chutney type of a sauce helps, I had to make many mistakes before I was able to get it right. This organic sauce stores well. It was very simple to prepare and most of the ingredients used were from the shelves of Trader Joe's.I used the marinara sauce to bake different shapes pizza for 24x24  event.

  13. Looks very good. For some reason I thought marinara sauce had Oregano in it. Maybe just my imagination.
    BTW, I saw someone (don't remember now) blog about the ice cream cone cupcakes. What they did is put the cupcake batter in a liner in the cup and invert the cone on the top. It was kind of wonky, but the idea is to make the batter rise in so that the batter won't make the cones soggy. Thought I will share with you.
