    Method:

    1. Take the tomatoes and clean it well in running water.
    2. Make a small plus with a knife on one of the sides of the tomatoes, make sure you are not cutting too deep, the cut needs to be just to mark. This will allow better blanching and cooking the tomatoes inside.
    3. Keep water in a vessel just enough to cover the tomatoes and let it heat up. Once it heats up put the tomatoes inside the vessel and allow it to cook for 10 minutes.
    4. Take out the tomatoes from the water and let it cool. After that cut the tomatoes and remove the seeds inside. De-skin it completely.
    5. Put the tomato pulp minus the skin in a mixer.
    6. Add Sugar and salt and grind it in the mixer.
    7. You will get a smooth puree, this is an instant version of tomato puree. It can be used immediately.
    8. To store it for longer time, pour it in a vessel, add vinegar and simmer it until it thickens a bit.
    9. That’s it now the tomato puree is ready to be stored in the refrigerator for future use.
