We have these tubes of paste in the store.
What brand of paste you buy can make a big deference in the flavor.
If it is processed too hot yes it will taste bad or burned.
You want to reduce it down at a very low temperature, somewhere around 150F.
When you open up a can of paste you can see anything to a dark color to a bright red color.
I get the bright red stuff.
The traditional way of making paste is to spreading reduced (sauce)? out on a flat board and letting it dry in the sun.
The term tomato sauce is a generic term for may types of reduced tomatoes.
I hardly ever buy tomato sauce and by paste, puree, crushed, and chopped tomatoes with no spices added.
