Tomato Puree Recipe

Tomato puree is the extract of tomatoes which is cooked to make a smooth, red and flavorful puree.The making of tomato puree includes an interesting step that is boiling the tomatoes and then giving them an ice water bath. This is called blanching. Blanching the tomatoes help them to retain their color and nutrition.

Vinegar can be added to increase the shelf life and color of the tomato puree. You can also freeze tomato puree for longer use. However to make it RED I added one beetroot while boiling the tomatoes .

Hi! I am CA Vini Mehta. A Chartered Accountant by profession, a food blogger by passion! First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by at Viniscookbook, I hope you have a good time. Here, yo...u will find the recipes which have been tried, at times re-tried in my kitchen and relished on the dining table. I am mother of two kids and the wife of a person with a high and selective taste sense, so basically anything, before finding its place on the blog, has many levels to cross and clear. This journey started a couple of years back. Before that I was making the most usual kind of food. The only experiment used to be asking my mother how to make something new or different☺. Then, one day, I tried a recipe for butter cookies. And they did not get to go in the container as they were over before I could store them. That day I was introduced to the joy of experimenting with recipes. And I loved everything else that followed especially garnishing and photographing food. I am still not well versed with the photography dos and don’ts but I love to experiment and learn, be it photography or cooking. Hope you too enjoy this journey as much as I do☺! Stay healthy, stay tuned!.
