Kitchen Tip: How to Store Leftover Tomato Paste recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

After I made the Italian White Bean, Potato and Kale Soup last night, I found myself with most of a can of tomato paste remaining. I usually scoop the leftover paste into a jar and then store it in the freezer until I need it again.

This time, as I was getting ready to put it away, I remembered a handy tip that my friend Donna shared last year.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Scoop the tomato paste onto the parchment in tablespoon size portions. Place in the freezer until solid. This should take about 3 hours, or overnight if you are like me and you forget it is in there.

Once the tomato paste is frozen, transfer it to a freezer bag. This will keep in the freezer for at least 6 months. You can add the frozen tomato paste directly into your recipes and it will quickly thaw and and work the same as fresh or canned tomato paste. Enjoy!

    That's a great idea. I do something similar with fresh herbs, I grind them up in the blender with a little water and freeze them in ice cube trays. Makes it sooooo easy to add some to any recipe.
