Sunflower Farmers Market had a .77cent a lb sale, so I stocked up on tomatoes! I made tomato paste from scratch...took SIX HOURS to get it to paste consistency.....here goes
Skinned 5 lbs of tomatoes...(a little over ripe tomatoes work best as it's easier to skin them) Put them in sauce pan w/ 1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 cup olive oil on stove top until they came to boiling point, then remove them from heat.
Grease bottom of oven baking dish with olive oil. Put boiled tomatoes into the oven safe baking dish....and bake in oven for 6 hours stirring every 30 minutes. (NOTE: bake at 300 F for 4 hours, and the last two hours reduce oven temp to 250 F.)
Vahlah, homemade tomato paste...Healthy and all Natural, oh and so much yummier than that stuff you buy in a can.
