Tomato paste is pure tomato with nothing added, only some 75% of its
water has been removed. To make tomato sauce from tomato paste simply
add water until it is of a consistancy you like and season to your
liking. To make natural tomato juice from tomato paste add 4 cans
water, 1 can vodka, and appropriate seasonings to taste.
