Even if you can't see them or hear them at all, a person's a person, no matter how small!

Re: Tomatoes....
I hear ya! I am thankfully on my last batch of salsa this week. It's alot of work but there is something about it that draws my kids to the kitchen to want to help and I just that.
Do you need resources or just lamenting the overabundance of tomatoes at the moment? |

Re: Tomatoes....
I'm about ready to huck my new pressure canner out the window. I've been canning tomatoes for a years now and I've never had a problem with the boiling water bath. I got the PC as a birthday gift because I wanted to can some low-acid stuff, but I thought I'd try it out with some familiar things, too, like tomatoes. Nearly every jar has something wrong with it. Either it's siphoning or the tomatoes are disintigrating or it just plain doesn't seal at all. In a decade of canning for me now, I've only ever had two jars not seal... until this blasted pressure canner came along. I don't get it and I'm not sacrificing any more lovely toms to the thing.
We've got boxes and boxes full still to ripen. I have no idea how many pounds are there. |

Re: Tomatoes....
If you are tired of canning them, you can make a delicious roasted tomato sauce for the freezer. This is what I do with garden tomatoes when they start coming in fast.
In a 9x13 pan (two fit in my oven at a time) put tomatoes, garlic cloves, and onion quarters that have been separated a bit. Drizzle it all with EVOO and some salt and pepper. Add in some herbs if you have them and want to get fancy. Roast until caramalized and soft. Whir in the food processer and then freeze in portions. Easy and delicious!
