Tomato cream can be used as a base for soups, dressing, sauces, or as a
spread. The taste is something entirely different than canned
tomatoes: Much purer and intense and less acidic. But be forewarned. Once
one becomes accustomed to using fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes loose all appeal.
The tomato cream will keep for 3-4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator.
