I don't cook with the ingredient very often and frequently find what's left in a glass jar in the fridge going moldy. Years ago I heard that you can freeze tomato paste, so the last time I opened a can I decided to freeze the leftover portion.
Yes, as you can see, I re-portioned the leftover in small plastic bags. This should work, G-d willing.
PS I don't buy ready-made tomato sauce. I cook up the tomato paste/concentrate with oil, onion, garlic and water. It's really very simple and easy to make.

You can freeze it in ice=cube trays and then transfer the frozen cubes into a small bag and take out as many as you need at a time!!
Thanks, that's also an idea, but the leftover am't "fit" in these bags. Not much goes in each cube.
I take the blobs (make them several blobs), put them in a ziplock bag (you can reuse them) and flatten them before freezing them. Then you can break off pieces and not have tomatoey ice cube trays. I do the same with pureed garlic, ginger, coriander, basil...
Yael, thanks, good idea, but do they break off easily?
I freeze them flat in small ziploc bags and yes, they break apart easily. That's the beauty of the flat-frozen ziploc :)
Thanks, I guess that someday I'll have to invest in ziploc bags.
