Homemade dehydrated tomato paste is bottled or canned for sterilization. Do it with glass bottles with hermetically sealed caps boiling over even on an open container if a pressure autoclave isn’t available.
Add natural preservatives:
Acidic ingredients such as vinegar or lemon juice can help to preserve the sauce and prevent spoilage. These ingredients will also enhance the flavour of the sauce.
