Ingredient notes
Tomato
Water content affects the body of a tomato-based marinade.
From ingredient to marinade
Why is one batch more watery?
Tomato varieties differ in flesh and juice. Weigh the prepared ingredient as the recipe specifies. A watery batch is not a reason to silently change its vinegar or salt proportions.
Can tomato paste replace fresh tomatoes by weight?
Paste is concentrated and gives a different texture. It is not an equal-weight replacement for fresh tomatoes. For shelf-stable preservation, use a tested formula: tomato colour and taste cannot verify sufficient acidity.
