NOTES

*Use of vinegar will help the frozen tomato puree to last longer.

*Salt will also accommodate vinegar.

*If you don’t want to add the skin of tomatoes into your puree, remove the skin after tomatoes become cool and before blending them. But i preferred not to discard skin because skin also get mashed totally & incorporated into the puree. Moreover while using the puree in my cooking, i didn’t find any drawbacks of skin into puree, so i had no reason to waste skin.

*If you don’t have zip lock bag, you can use polythene and rubber band as a substitute.
