Tomato paste

Tomato paste

Ingredients

  • Tomatoes
  • Sea salt

Preparation

  • Wash the tomatoes well
  • Sort them: keep the hard ones to prepare concasse, throw away the rotten ones, etc..
  • Remove the stems and any bruises or imperfections
  • Cut the tomatoes and throw them in a tomato churning machine
  • Add a handful of sea salt to the tomatoes as they are churned into a purée
  • Push the tomato purée through a sieve
  • Squeeze out all the juices and throw away the remaining seeds and skin

In a large shallow tin-lined copper pot

  • Pour the pure tomato juice through a sieve into a large tin-lined copper pot which is properly set on the fireplace
  • Monitor the fire and add the necessary wood to keep the heat consistent
  • Once the juice starts boiling and thickening, start stirring the pot to make sure the paste doesn't stick to the pot and get burned
  • Throw in a handful of sea salt
  • Once a while, clean the sides of the pot with a flexible spatula
  • After the mixture starts to thicken, taste to adjust the salt
  • Once the mixture thickens and resembles a paste, remove it from the heat

In clean dry jars

  • Instantly fill the canning jars with the hot tomato paste
  • Tap the jars to make sure all air comes out
  • Immediately, close the lids tight

Use

We use tomato paste in many soups, stews, and stuffing.

Storing

Store the tomato paste jars in your pantry or a cool, dark place.

Store the opened jars in the fridge.
