KITCHEN TIP: Saving Extra Tomato Paste

Many recipes call for only a small amount of tomato paste. While we prefer tomato paste from a tube, if you can only find it in a can, here's how to store and freeze any leftovers. Open the other end of the can and discard the bottom. Slide the can into a plastic sandwich bag and freeze overnight. The next day, remove the can from the bag and run under hot water for a few seconds before pushing the frozen paste onto a cutting board. Slice into 1/4-inch rounds—about 1 tablespoon of paste each. Place the rounds back into the plastic bag and toss into the freezer for ready-to-use portions of tomato paste.
