1. Open both the top and bottom lids with the can opener.

2. Remove one lid.

   

    

3. Push out a small amount from the other end that still has the lid on it. Cut off the tomato paste and place on a small piece of plastic wrap. Wrap well.

   

    

4. A small can of tomato paste will have 10 1-tablespoon portions.

5. Store the wrapped pieces of tomato paste in the freezer. They will keep a very long time.
