It should be delicious, I added 2 peppers to the tomatoes and made a double portion. I crushed the tomatoes in a blender, added a bunch of parsley, about 100g, and added some spices. I made it like a sauce. I removed the onion, I didn’t have it on hand, I filled the volume of the onion with pepper.

Why can’t it be stored in it? Vinegar and everything is as it should be, it should stay in the basement until spring

Thanks for the answer. And another question: if I replace tomatoes with tomato paste, how much water, etc. will be needed? Do you know by any chance?
