Tomato paste is one of the few ingredients I will buy rather than make myself, even though we use canned tomato paste for this recipe. Since the time and cost of the tomatoes made us understand that it would be one of the few items we buy, we decided it wasn’t worth the effort when we prepared it earlier.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of the ketchup?
Stored in a refrigerator in an airtight container, it keeps for up to one month.
It has a very vinegary flavor.
When you add the vinegar, start off little. If you would want a little extra tang, you may easily add a tiny bit more.
Can I use garlic or oregano that is fresh?
We like dry since it has the best flavor and texture.
