What does one do with a practically unlimited.. amount of Tomatos..

[Ham]

Put them in jars..

turn them into sauce..

I have about eight jars left with lids..

maybe nine..

Don't suggest drying them. The Michigan Sun is not going to cooperate at the moment..

La Tomatina

[Ham]

One day I would like to attend the one in Valencia

After last night, the count is now twenty-two gallons..

[Ham]

The current count is over twenty-five gallons of pure, tomato bliss.

and they all were free.. well. except for the cost for natural gas, boiling the said miscreants..

Now I have about twenty pounds or rapidly maturing miniature tomatoes. I plan on converting them to juice. but there is only about a gallon and a half that I can accommodate in jars.

[krys]

can you freeze any of if in plastic bags?

[Ham]

that is the Last Resort.

I like the idea of expending a little energy, if necessary. Cook the little varmints.. put them in jars.. and the deed is done. No further energy or technology necessary to keep them frozen, or whateve..

drying is a good idea, but the Michigan sun is not entirely cooperating at the moment.

[Ham]

The last seven gallons, I have no idea what I am going to do with. Well.. they are brought to boiling. What is the scientific word.. it alludes me at the moment..

[Ham]

Pasteurized. That was the word I was looking for..

[waysider]

Pasturized....Isn't that what you call a cow that's escaped the barn?

[Ham]

Now there are some sexy tomatos.. globules of delight.. an orgy of awesomeness..

Pasturized....Isn't that what you call a cow that's escaped the barn?

How amoozing.

Seriously, Costco and Walmart both have drying apparatuses inexpensive. As long as you have electricity. I like them because I don't need to add all the chemicals and sugar in commercially dried products.
