Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg Red Tomatoes
  • water for boiling
  • 1 tsp Vinegar optional
  • 1/2 tsp Salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Take a large pan, add water sufficient enough to sink all tomatoes into it and place on a gas stove for boiling.
  • Wash tomatoes and discard the eyes of the tomatoes using the tip of the knife.
  • Make cross-cuts into the base of each tomato. This will help the tomatoes to cook little fast.
  • When the water begins to boil, put all the tomatoes in the boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes or until they turn soft.
  • Now remove the tomatoes from boiling water and put them in cold water for some time.
  • Once cool, chop them roughly and blend to a smooth puree in a blender.
  • Take a bowl, place a sieve over it and pass the puree through the sieve to discard the seeds which will remain intact even after blending.
  • Add vinegar & salt to it and mix well.
  • Take the ice cube box and fill the puree into it.
  • Transfer the box into freezer and let the puree freeze completely. It may take 7 to 8 hours. Preferably keep them overnight.
  • Now take zip lock bag, transfer the frozen puree cubes into it.
  • Press the Zip lock bag from the upper side before locking so that no air remains there in the bag.
  • Again transfer the bag in the freezer and use the cubes as and when needed.
