Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and slice them into rounds.
Blend them in a mixer until smooth.
Cooking the Tomato Purée
Pour the purée into a large pot and bring to a boil.
Skim off the foam that forms on the surface.
Let it cook for a few more minutes to reduce the purée and intensify the flavor.
Filling the Jars
Submerge your glass jars in boiling water to sterilize them, then let them air dry.
Fill them with the hot tomato purée, adding a few basil leaves for extra aroma.
Airtight Sealing
Seal the jars tightly, then place them in a pot of boiling water for about 30 minutes to create a vacuum.
Let them cool in a cool, dry place before storing them in a cupboard.
Important Precautions
To ensure long-term storage, regularly check your jars. If you notice any discoloration, odd smells, or bulging lids—don’t take any risks. Toss them.
⚠️ Warning: A poorly sterilized jar can be a breeding ground for bacteria! Be meticulous with each step.
