Tomato preserve is a traditional method to preserve the freshness and taste of ripe tomatoes. This simple recipe requires only two ingredients: ripe tomatoes and basil. Tomato preserve can be used as a base for sauces, gravies, and soups, or spread on crostini for a tasty appetizer.
Remove the stems from the tomatoes and wash them very carefully
Crush them to remove the internal liquid and pass them through a food mill
Repeat this operation several times to remove any residue of seeds or skin
Once done, you can start pouring the puree into bottles, placing a few basil leaves in each
Get some iron caps and seal the bottles with the appropriate machine
Now place them in a large pot with the bottom covered with rags, and at each layer of bottles, add more rags so they don't bump into each other
Cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook for a couple of hours
Let cool and store the bottles in a cool, dark place
Store in a cool, dark place
