#trust之美#western Style Tomato Paste/tomato Paste
1.
This time I used a mixing cup without a strainer and equipped with a cross mixing knife. Since the capacity of the mixing cup is not large, the ingredients are stirred in two batches (if it is large enough, the ingredients can be added at once for stirring).
2.
Ingredients: 3 ripe tomatoes (about 545g), half onion (115g), half of fresh lemon juice (or use white vinegar instead), appropriate amount of honey, 3g salt, 5g corn starch.
3.
Take the juice of half a fresh lemon and set aside.
4.
Wash the tomatoes and dice, and chop the onions for later use.
5.
Put the ingredients into the cooking cup twice, and start whipping for 1 minute each time.
6.
Take a small amount of squeezed juice, add corn starch, and stir it evenly, called starch slurry.
7.
Pour the remaining juice into the pot, add salt, cook on medium heat until thick.
8.
Add honey or granulated sugar to taste according to your preference (I put 4 tablespoons of honey, and the sauce is slightly sweet after mixing).
9.
Then add half a lemon juice, which can adjust the sour taste and also act as a fresh-keeping agent. Without lemon juice, you can use an appropriate amount of white vinegar instead.
10.
Pour in the prepared starch slurry, stir while pouring, and turn to low heat to heat.
11.
Turn off the heat when boiling until the consistency is right.
12.
The ready-made tomato sauce is put into a sterilized glass bottle while it is hot, covered with a lid, and buckled immediately, and kept in the refrigerator after it is completely cooled.
Tips:
Preservation of tomato sauce:
1. Lemon is a good antioxidant, which can extend the shelf life of tomato sauce.
2. It is recommended to use a high heat-resistant glass container with a lid that can be sealed when putting the tomato sauce. Wash it with boiling water before use and keep the bottle dry.
3. When taking jam from the bottle, use a clean and water-free spoon. It is best to take as much as you want. After taking it out, cover the bottle tightly.
4. The homemade tomato sauce is stored in the refrigerator freezer for 30 days.
