Tomatos, tomatos, tomatos?
Question:I have too many tomato's. I have made salsa but was wondering if you knew what else I could make? How do you make your own tomato sauce? Any help please...
Answers:
you can also freeze the fresh tomato just liquidize it and put in ice cube tray and after its frozen remove from the tray and put them in the freezer bag and put the bag in the freezer it will keep till you use it. i use mine for soup curry's salsa anything really.
I make a tomato salad.
Quarter your tomato,
add onion, preferably red onions
add oil, vinegar, a pinch of sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
Parsley flakes to give color.
Mix well, but gentle.
Let marinate in refrig for at least 1 hour.
**When adding oil and vinegar, just a touch to coat the tomato's, you don't want them swimming in it. The tomato's will make their own juices.
Ingredients are done to taste.
Real yummy!
You can do this with cucumbers too.
Tomato Juice is easy to make. Just cook the tomatos until they are soft and strain them through a cloth and strainer. Beats canned tomato juice., has lots of flavor
Tomatos are easy to can because they are so acidic.
Another idea would be to buy a dehydrater and make your own sun dried tomatos. Sun dried tomatos keep well, can be frozen, and are good on all kinds of foods and salads, or can be used in soups this winter.
My last idea would be to set up a tomato stand on a Saturday. The grocery store tomatos are not as good as home grown and I think your tomatos would sell really well.
You know what else you could do? Donate the excess tomatoes to a shelter. I used to put bags of tomatoes on my neighbors porches. They loved it.
Check out this book at the library, or purchase it.
