Freezing Tomato Paste

Before you use tomato paste in a recipe, open BOTH ends of the can, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze. After frozen, push the paste out of one open end. Re-wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Slice off as needed - no waste.

When opening tomato paste. I always spoon it on to wax paper and freeze until firm. Then I put it into small zip lock freezer bags by each spoonful. Great for a touch of flavor to soups and such.

What a great idea! I never would have thought of this. It sounds so much easier than trying to spoon that sticky stuff out of the can. I can never get it all out!

Or do what I do...buy a very big can of tomato paste, pour iinto ice cube trays, freeze then put them in ziploc bags. You won't be needing to buy tomato paste for awhile.
