Homemade Tomato Paste/Puree

Homemade Tomato Paste/Puree

20 peeled, chopped and cored ripe plum tomatoes
1 chopped sweet red pepper
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt

Combine all ingredients and cook slowly one hour. Press through a fine sieve.
Continue cooking slowly until thick enough to round up on a spoon, about 2 1/2 hours. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.

Process into cans or jars.
You can also freeze them into icecubes trays and put them in freezer bags.
