Tomato Sauce Decorative Art Poster Print by Lauren Hamilton
Have you ever opened a can of tomato sauce, tomatoes or tomato paste and the recipe didn’t use all the can? Well don’t waste it … Save it … and NOT in the refrigerator. You may not find it and use it before you end up throwing it away.
Take what’s left and pour it into ice cube trays, cover and freeze. Once it is frozen, place the individual cubes in a zip top bag and label it. Now you will have little cubes on hand to pop into future dishes.
When I have 1-2 tablespoons left of tomato paste, I have also taken a snack size plastic bags and place the leftovers inside and freeze. I also put all those little bags in one place in the freezer so that I can find them easily when needed.
Now that is being a Conscious Cook!
