I didn't have three pounds of cherry tomatoes so I used close to 2 pounds of cherry tomatoes and then cut up several tomatoes to make a total of three pounds. For the red pepper flakes I used dehydrated red pepper flakes that I had purchased from one of the herb and spice companies that are sold by friends who always have catalogs on hand.
Cooking in the pot. |
I bagged the tomato pate in half cup portions for freezing. |
TOMATO PATE
INGREDIENTS:
3 pounds of cherry tomatoes, halved
2/3 cup sugar or ½ cup splenda
juice and lemon zest from one lemon
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp of red pepper flakes
DIRECTIONS:
Add all of the ingredients to a large stock pot and heat on
high to a boil. Reduce heat to a
simmer and cook for 1 to 2 hours until the mixture is reduced by half and has a
thick consistency. Cool.
Spoon into small canning jars or freezer jars and freeze. You can also store it in the fridge and
it will keep for about two weeks.
Makes about 3 cups.
