Have you ever had to use Tomato Paste in a recipe?

 
AND the recipe only calls for a tablespoon or two?
 
Here's what to do with the rest of the can... 

 
 

Measure 1 TBS of Tomato Paste and spoon into an ice cube tray and FREEZE.

Once frozen, remove and place in a freezer safe bag.
 
The next time you need tomato paste, just reach into your freezer and remove.

    Good idea! Did you know tomato paste comes in a tube? I saw it on Rachel Ray one day. Don't know how expensive it is, but it would be convenient.
