  • first tomatoes put up

    From songbird@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 22 07:55:43 2021
    picked yesterday morning and put them up last night
    once it cooled off a bit outside.

    i don't really much like the variety of tomatoes
    we planted as they are texturally like store bought
    tomatoes, they were hard and not much flavor. next
    batch i will leave hanging on the plants a few more
    days, but i don't think that's going to help that
    much.

    oh well, they'll get used no matter what, they can
    always be adapted and adjusted for uses in recipes.

    Hi Songbird,

    Chop then into a saute pan. Wait for them to condense
    down. Add salt, garlic, and oregano.

    Then add eggplant, zucchini, are whatever goes with
    tomatoes. Top with shredded cheese.

    Culinary heaven!

    My wife really likes her Italian tomato press :

    ugh! plastic, i don't buy plastic kitchen gadgets if i
    can help it.

    after scalding the tomatoes and removing the skins i cut
    out the core and stem and then it is easy enough to cut
    them into chunks and put those up. i don't mind seeds in
    what i put up.

    the only time i process tomatoes differently is when i'm
    making juice, but in the case of juicing i don't remove
    the skins at all, i just core them and chop them up and
    then cook them down a while to make the food mill easier
    to extract all the juice.

    T i'm not talking about just a few tomatoes here, our
    first picking was 26lbs. i hope we can get about 120
    quarts this season from 12 plants aside from what we eat
    or give away.
