Someone here did it in an oven I think it was nematode not for sure.

All you need is the tomato paste or sauce or what ever spread out on a flat surface and let the sun dehydrate it.
You have to keep spreading and turning a few times a day until it is super concentrated and in a ball.
My friend from Sicily's father told me how to do it with plywood with a border around it to keep it from spilling out.

Once it is down to almost nothing you can just keep it in a jar mixed with salt and olive oil on top.
I have made small wee batches it is like a thousand tomatoes in one taste.

I think estratto is Italian for extract.
