Knee-Deep in Tomatoes!!



Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes!!! We have tomatoes!

Seems we are picking about a 1/2 bushel of tomatoes every 2 days. Yesterday hubby helped me puree about 70 pounds of them. Today, it is simmering and being canned into spaghetti sauce.


So far we have done salsa, pizza sauce, tomato soup, tomato/veggie juice and now the spaghetti sauce. The plan is to make more soup, juice and sauce. Then possibly some ketchup. Any other ideas?

What about just canning the tomatoes whole? Great when you want a tomato in the winter. lol.Other than that, I think you have covered it all.

terri - I have a few jars of plain tomato sauce left over from last year and I thought about making them into bbq sauce.

small farm girl - thanks for the idea! I'm not thinking about the simple ways to do tomotoes, I always do things the hard way!
