Garden Tomato Paste image

I make this every year with my surplus of plum tomatoes- you need to spend a few hours close to the stove, but it's worth it! Very handy to have in small amounts in the freezer.

This tomato paste was a bit too expensive for my taste. I can get a similar quality tomato paste at the store for a fraction of the price.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tomato paste turned out a bit too thick. I had to add some water to thin it out.

This tomato paste was a bit too acidic for my taste. I ended up having to add a bit of sugar to balance it out.
