Lazy mans tomato preserve

(1/1)

Zuma:
Pick tomato- wash/dry.
Put what ever you like in a shopping bag (plastic).
You can take out one or all later.
Install in freezer until needed for cooking.
The maters will be like pool balls when you take them out.
You could be makin chili, spaghetti sauce, or soup etc.
Run hot tap water in a bowl that contains the maters.
After a moment just squeeze the skins off.
Chop them to size with a stout knife and pop them in the
 pot when the recipe calls for them.

I'm picking about 5 pounds a day... About time to start canning I think  :-\

Good to know we're not the only ones doing that.  My aunt steered me onto that method of preserving tomatoes many years ago

Zuma:
The first time I had a garden that produced enough to can,
I went out and bought all the stuff. I did all the procedures by the number.
All was going well until the $40 aluminum pot that was at full boil blew a
hole through the bottom and destroyed the coil on the stove.
 All the canning stuff I had prepared went south.
So to continue I would need a new gas stove, a gas instillation and a new pot.
I freeze stuff but worry about power loss when I am away.
I have a generator for when I am not. I freeze corn, peppers, cantaloupe. kale. collards broccoli, spinach, squash, cherries, peaches and plums.
The fruit I eat just as it is thawing, in cereal. The veggies I cook with.
I do like canned foods too.
