Cómo preparar Homemade Tomato Paste
- Wash and roughly chop 2 lbs (900g) ripe tomatoes.
- Place chopped tomatoes in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have softened and released their juices.
- Puree the cooked tomatoes using an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender and blend until smooth.
- Return the pureed tomato mixture to the saucepan and continue to simmer over low heat for another 2 hours, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and burning. The mixture should reduce and thicken considerably, becoming a rich, deep paste.
- Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of sugar (optional) during the last 30 minutes of simmering, adjusting to taste.
- Once the tomato paste has reached your desired consistency (thick and glossy), remove from heat.
- Allow the paste to cool slightly, then transfer to sterilized jars or ice cube trays for freezing.
- If canning, follow safe canning guidelines to ensure proper sterilization and storage.
