Buying tomato paste in bulk jars is cheaper. The problem is that it goes mouldy really quickly. You could divvy it up into an ice container and freeze, or just freeze the jar, which is what I used to do, scraping out what I needed. This was a pain in the bum.

Now I just store the jar in the fridge upside down.

It’s surprising just how effective this is. Tomato paste now lasts for months and I have never had mouldy paste since.

Just make sure to tighten the lid well so there are no spills…and explain it to your family – they might think you’ve gone a bit balmy.
