It used to be like this - you rolled tomatoes into jars, but there were those that did not get into them. Where is the speck, where is the dent, where is the damage. It seems that they are not particularly suitable for fresh salads. In such cases, I make tomato paste. It turns out to be quite thick, which significantly reduces the number of cans. In addition, it can be frozen. It keeps well frozen. But for borscht and various gravies just right. Add two or three tablespoons and you get deliciousness.
This dressing is prepared in different ways. Scroll vegetables in a meat grinder, chop in a blender, cook on the stove or in a slow cooker. Yes, and a bunch of recipes. For example, my mother added both carrots and bell peppers to it. Someone puts greens, onions or garlic. This option is not suitable for me. I still think that carrots and peppers can be put in a dish raw. And the pasta should still consist of only tomatoes with a little salt.

The question regarding tomato paste, in relation to tomatoes, can be considered in relation to the dishes, recipes that we are going to cook. For example, for cooking borscht, two tablespoons of tomato paste will replace a glass of juice. A glass of tomato juice is six medium fruits, 2 tablespoons of pasta. There is a certain ratio of a kilogram of tomatoes to the dry mass of tomato paste, about 1: 3, that is, one and a half kilograms of tomatoes will replace 0.5 kilograms of tomato paste. Having made the proportion, it is easy to calculate that tomato paste needs a little more than 0.3 kilograms instead of 1 kilogram of tomatoes in lecho, other homemade preparations.
Tomato pastes are different. There is one that is more like a sauce, another, like a village sour cream - a spoon is worth. Of course, the second option is preferable. It needs to be boiled down less.Whatever it was, for lecho the solution of tomato paste should be boiled down almost twice. More precisely, up to 60 - 65 percent of the original volume.
Liquid contains a lot of water and dry matter in it from the strength of 15 - 20% This means that it will replace 1 kilogram of dense fleshy tomatoes in 3 - 5 times less. This will come out 300 - 400 grams of tomato paste. It is impossible to calculate exactly. There are no identical tomatoes or pasta. But I stopped at the extremes.
In another version, the paste is thick in it dry matter 30 - and even 40%. It will need much less from 200 to 300 grams. But an experienced cook does not weigh in grams, does not use measuring cups and spoons. He does it by eye and taste.
Undoubtedly, sugar and salt are different. One is too salty, the other too sweet. If you give two housewives exactly the same products, they will come out differently. One will have a thick lecho, while the other will be like tomato juice. One prefers soft lecho, while the other likes almost fresh fruits.
Summary: they hang in grams, even if in advertising, and the cook uses pinches, grains and pours as much as, in his opinion, is correct. my choice tomato paste "Tomato"
Ketchup? Tomato paste? What's better? How much pasta or sauce do you need if the recipe contains 1.5 kg of tomatoes?
For preparations for the winter, you can make different vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, cucumbers) in tomato sauce made from diluted tomato paste (ketchup, tomato puree) or you can put fresh tomatoes (tomato juice from tomatoes).
You can take either tomato juice (ground fresh tomatoes) or tomato paste, or you can add tomato juice and paste in half.
You can navigate about the mass of tomato paste in relation to tomatoes in different ways.
If in borscht we put one or two tablespoons of tomato paste instead of a glass of tomato juice on a glass of boiling water, then in the blanks, too, for each glass (200 ml) of whole tomato juice, you can use one or two full tablespoons with a slide of tomato paste.
One glass of tomato juice contains 5 - 6 ripe tomatoes.
That is, one to two tablespoons of tomato paste is equal to a glass of tomato juice, equal to about five to six medium tomatoes.
Moreover, it is good to add tomato paste so that it can not be diluted with water to the state of tomato juice, but added directly from the bag with a thick tomato mass, so the dish will be thicker - instead of a glass of tomato, only dry mass from tomato paste.
Usually I combine - and tomatoes, and tomato paste, I do "by eye". I look at how much tomato is needed for a given amount of zucchini / eggplant or how much tomato is needed, chopped, chopped into pieces, tomato puree, and in addition, for the density and saturation of color and taste, you can add tomato paste.
I also found information that with a ratio of a kilogram of tomato and dry mass of tomato paste, the ratio is about 1: 3, that is
If the recipe contains one and a half kilograms of tomato, then this is equal to half a kilogram of tomato paste. This is approximately, but you can put more or less, focusing on taste. Or you can put half with fresh tomatoes (tomato juice from fresh tomatoes) and half with tomato paste.
Among the canned vegetables, which are harvested for the winter, tomatoes marinated in tomato paste, juice, marinade and other fillings are popular. Thanks to the use of a variety of seasonings and spices, tomatoes with unusual and different flavors are obtained. The correct choice of vegetables and additional products is of great importance for obtaining high-quality and tasty preservation.
> Selecting and preparing tomatoes
Fresh, firm, medium-sized fruits are selected for harvesting. To prepare the sauce, tomatoes of any size and shape are suitable, the main thing is without rot and spoilage.
> How to prepare a container?
After thorough washing, glass containers are sterilized in the usual way. You can fry in the oven, steam over boiling water, use the microwave.
Canned tomatoes can be stored in a cool, dark room, pantry, on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator, or in your basement. Preservation should not be in a bright room, where direct sunlight penetrates.
The shelf life of a vegetable preparation at room temperature is no more than twelve months. Tomatoes, which are at a temperature of no higher than five degrees, are stored for three years.
