It is as easy as counting 1,2,3… Don’t believe us? Keep reading…In essence, it’s just a 3-step process – Blanch, Peel, and Crush. Blanching is the process of first partially cooking vegetables like tomatoes, onions, spinach, flower, etc., in hot boiling water for a few minutes and then immediately transferring them to cold water.
This hot-to-cold water transfer process makes skin peeling easier and it preserves the color, taste, and nutrition of vegetables. This homemade tomato puree recipe also has step-by-step photos to make the tomato blanching process easy to understand and follow.
Storage:
You can
use fresh tomato purรฉe right away, or you can freeze it for long-term storage.
Feel free to use your favorite freezer-friendly storage method, but I prefer
zip-top freezer bags, as they freeze flat (taking up less space) and thaw
quickly. Freeze the purรฉe in eight- or 15-ounce increments — that’s the amount
required for most recipes. Label the bags and store them in the freezer for up
to six months.
