Homemade Tomato Paste: Delicious!
Ingredients: 4lbs of overripe tomatoes, peeled; 1 sweet red bell, seeded; 1-2T of sea salt.
{I plan on using mine for homemade ketchup so these are all the ingredients I used}
Preparation: Process tomatoes and bell pepper in a food mill, processor, or blender until well pulped.
Transfer to a pot and bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes.
Place mixture in a piece of cheese cloth, and using a strainer, suspend it over a bowl. Leave it to drain for 12 hours in the refrigerator to remove all excess liquid.
Transfer mixture to a glass or ceramic baking dish and stir in salt. Allow to come to room temperature then dry in a lukewarm oven for 12-20 minutes.
Spoon into sterilized glass jar. Take care to avoid creating air pockets, and top with 1/4 inch of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) for storing. I will skip this step because I want to turn mine into ketchup! The ketchup recipe will follow shortly!
I love investing time into homemade foods. There is little that is more rewarding when you know what you are putting into your body and that it is at its freshest!
With that said,
Happy Healthy Cooking!
