Well, I only planted two small tomato plants this year but they have taken over. I have given away as many as I have kept and am eating them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I just pulled ten off a little while ago and there are at least that many more that will be ready tomorrow!
Any new ideas on how to cook them? I make tomato pie, tomato sauce, lots of sandwiches and salads. HELPPPP!!!
-Relish / chutney!
-Tomato soup
-I would just chop and boil them down a bit, and then freeze several 1-2 cup portions for a handy homemade ‘tin of tomatoes’ when you need it for cooking.
Hi @Debbie-L! I keep finding new appreciation for tomatoes. I hated them as a kid, and now I’ll eat them plain. Plus they’re very, very healthy. And diverse. And they have that umami flavor without needing meat.
As for ideas, I like sun-dried tomatoes. I agree with @Danandnan that you can always freeze them. And you can google for a zillion uses/recipes for tomatoes.
I used to cut out the white core where it used to attach to the stem and just freeze them. Then later when I was making chili, I would use all the tomatoes
Not a recipe — an idea in case you might find it handy: Prolific gardeners we know regularly donate to food banks.
There also was a gardener in one of our neighborhoods who was so good at gardening that they built a little shelf and roof into their fence line and left surplus vegetables out for neighbors to take. I discovered it while walking my dog.
