Tomatoes are one of the most versatile and delicious fruits around. Whether you want to use them in sauces, salads, or simply enjoy their fresh taste, making fresh tomato at home is easier than you think. Follow this step-by-step guide to learn how to make fresh tomato from scratch.

What You’ll Need

  • Tomatoes (preferably ripe and firm)
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Bowl
  • Blender or food processor (optional)
  • Sieve or strainer
  • Storage containers

Step 1: Prepare the Tomatoes

Start by washing the tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Remove any dirt or debris. Once cleaned, pat them dry with a towel. Cut off the stem portion and any blemishes you might find on the skin.

Step 2: Cut and Dice

Place the tomato on a cutting board and slice it in half vertically. Then, slice each half into smaller pieces. If you prefer a chunkier texture, dice the tomatoes into smaller cubes. Alternatively, you can leave them in larger slices if you prefer a more rustic texture.

Step 3: Blend (Optional)

If you want a smoother tomato consistency, you can skip this step if you prefer chunkier tomato sauce. Take the diced or sliced tomatoes and place them in a blender or food processor. Pulse a few times until you reach your desired consistency. Be careful not to over-blend, as you still want some texture in your fresh tomato.

Step 4: Strain

If you blended the tomatoes in the previous step, skip this one. However, if you prefer a smoother, seedless tomato sauce, strain the blended tomatoes using a sieve or strainer. Press the mixture with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible while removing the seeds and remaining solids.

Step 5: Store

Once your fresh tomato is ready, transfer it into clean, airtight storage containers. Properly sealed containers will help preserve the freshness and taste of your tomato for up to a week in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for longer shelf life.
