You can also prolong the shelf life by removing any air around it using a vacuum sealer. The advantage to using perfectly cube-shaped ice cube trays is that the frozen tomato paste cubes fit together perfectly in ziplock bags without wasting any space. You can then label your bags and sort through them easily to find what you need in the freezer drawers.
This is to prevent the growth of the bacteria that cause botulism. Food mill. Large cube trays. Smaller cube trays. Tomato paste can be added to soups and other dishes to give some tomato flavor and a touch of color. This post was originally published on Nov.

Good morning wonderful, please how can I store the tomato paste for about 6month with freezing it Thank you dear. I show the process in my post about freezing fruits. Do you mean without freezing it? On the other hand, if you reduced the water content enough, it should keep for a very long time. The other idea would be to ferment it with some whey like I showed in the fermented ketchup recipe.
I was looking for an easy recipe and definitely found it with yours. In addition to the olive oil, I added some dried basil from my garden to the tomatoes. It took a few hours to cook down and I let it sit in the pot to cool before I put it in a sealed container…but not before a taste.
OMG is it good! Thanks for sharing. Nice and easy! Really excited to use it the paste in a jollof rice recipe for my Ghanaian friend. I blanched the tomatoes and removed the skins and stems first before blending them. I tried putting the juice through a strainer first, but the gaps were too narrow and I felt I was losing too much of the good pulp and gellish bits around the seeds. Used all the seeds in the end. Am looking forward to how it turns out!
I made it yesterday. Very good when mixed with pasta. Thank you! Thank you for a great recipe. Loved it on the first try! It did take a long time but now I have homemade tomato paste!

The recipe calls for 2 pounds of Roma tomatoes but in your Notes, you mention that it took only 3 hours and 8 pounds of tomatoes to get to the finished product.
So am I the one confused or did you mean to say one needs 8 pounds of Roma tomatoes to end up with 2 pounds of tomato paste? Use Roma's if you have them available to you. If you don't, use another type of tomato. Romas have a lower moisture content and that is why I love them. Another variety may have more moisture, taking longer to reduce. I hope that helps. In the narrative, you say any tomato BUT Roma is preferred. Would you mind clarifying?
The idea of the food mill is it is going to remove all the skins and seeds. Alternatively, you can de-seed and remove the skins of the tomatoes before starting to cook them down. What method can be substituted for a food mill if you don't have one? Or just mash it?

Thin sauce isn't a disaster, it's an opportunity. Leave it on the back burner. Most tomato purists advocate giving a watery sauce a little more time on the stove sans pot lid, of course. Letting tomato sauce thicken by evaporating the excess liquid has some added advantages.
The longer tomato sauce cooks, the more complex, smooth and flavorful it becomes. If your sauces have tasted brassy or almost metallic in the past, another hour on the stove could make this year's batch thick enough to coat the back of your ladle and give it some deep flavor notes you'll love. Why not finish it off in a low oven? You won't have to worry about burning the bottom of the pot, and you can spend the next hour doing something more entertaining than watching molten tomatoes bubbling.
You can always employ your trusty crock pot, too. Add a thickener. Artificial thickeners and tomatoes are often at odds with one another.
Starches don't hold up well to the acid in tomatoes. Cornstarch , potato starch and some flours can alter the flavor of tomato-based sauces, create lumps or break down over time. If you do add flour, arrowroot or cornstarch, mix it into a little cold water first, and use the tomato sauce right away.
Don't do anything. Thin isn't necessarily bad, and if you plan on using your homemade sauce in stew, soup or chili, the other ingredients will thicken the sauce for you. Lightly mashed potatoes in a stew or mashed beans in chili will add body to your sauce and blend perfectly with the other flavors in the recipe. Once your homemade, garden-fresh tomato sauce is cooked to perfection, try using it in a family-friendly meal like meatloaf or chili, or just serve it over spaghetti.
Although it doesn't look like it, tomatoes are related to potatoes and sweet peppers. They're all members of the nightshade family.
