I thought I was done with them, the garden is cleared and my sister in law brings me more tomatoes... What to do with all these tomatoes? I read where I could freeze them whole without blanching so will give it a try. First they all had to be washed & dried then put in quart zip freezer bags. Cook some...but must Trim them and sort by size and color, then heat and push through a seive. Cook them down and strain again.. finally Tomato Sauce... I do not want to see another until its salad prep time.. I must say I do love these red sweet gems..a little salt & on a fresh tomato is heavenly right from the garden.. What more could a farm girl ask for? Now I can cook with tomatoes all winter and ad these to my canned ones as well as the great salsa I made earlier.. I think I did well this year in putting away a good harvest of Tomatoes. and the Chickens love the scraps.... Now what about those veggie soups and pies? That's for another day... I need a cuppa tea and a nap....
