Tips

Preservation of tomato paste:

1. Lemon is a good antioxidant and can extend the shelf life of tomato paste.

2. It is recommended to use a heat-resistant glass container with a sealable lid when storing tomato sauce. Wash it with boiling water before use and keep the bottle dry.

3. When taking the jam from the bottle, use a clean and water-free spoon. It is best to take as much as you want. After taking it out, close the bottle cap tightly.

4. Homemade tomato sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for 7 days.
