Have some shrimp to go in the lima’s with a bit of butter salt and pepper.

Tomato pie and smoked tomato tarter sauce. This is my third pick so I’m getting full of tomatoes.

I’ll take tomato suggestions. I’ve canned about a dozen pints and made a good tomato salsa. And of course loads of sandwiches.

You speak of your tomato harvest every year and I get so jealous.

Do you freeze things you make with the tomatoes? I think a smoked tomato mixture in a pasta sauce or soup would be great. Had a sauce at Delmonico a few years ago.

I freeze tomatoes whole, skin on. Put a few in a vacuum sealed bag and in dead of winter you have home grown tomatoes for sauces.

Can you share your smoked tarter sauce recipe?

Don’t they lose their texture?

They cook in a sauce just fine.

Tomato soup for sure. Like they make at La Madeline. I love that soup there so much I pass on the onion soup.

Nice crop btw.

Just saw this.
These are for cooking with and they come out great. Good for sauces, stews anything you would use canned tomatoes for. When they thaw the peel comes right off.

So do I. When you defrost them the skin peels right off. I then throw them in a blender and then simmer them down til the water evaporates.

Yep. Freeze them whole. Great for all methods of cooking.

We pick, blanch, peel, and make tomato puree in the Vita Mix every summer. We freeze the puree in quart bags. We make 25 to 40 quarts and use them throughout the year.

Your Cherokee Purples look great Martini! We stick with mostly Big Beef.

This is our favorite pizza sauce. We use extra garlic. At about the two hour mark, it all comes together.
