Its a busy day here today. Im making another batch of Tomato paste. I will post the recipe below that I have been using. It is the most easy thing to make. I will never buy any from the store.

Tomato Paste:

12 cups tomato puree
6 Tablespoons olive oil

  1. Preheat the oven 300 F.
  2. Spread 2 tablespoons olive oil on three rimmed baking sheets. Pour 4 cups of tomato puree into each pan.
  3. Bake, using a spatula to turn the puree over on itself occasionally, until most of the water evaporates and the surface darkens, about 3 hours. Combine the tomato paste onto one baking sheet; reduce heat to 200 F and cook until thick and brick colored, about 20 minutes.
  4. Cool and divide into two ice trays; freeze. Store in the freezer in a zip lock plastic bag
I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I have. Hope you all have a good day.
