Oh I am blessed with a bounty of tomatoes. I planted them early BECAUSE I COULD ( in California) and I am now in the middle of my harvest!!! I have shared them with friends, family and neighbors. I have canned them diced in Marinara sauce and in salsa and honestly I'm out of jars and have a dehydrator so that's what I'm doing now. Two years ago I did the same and then vacuum sealed the dried tomatoes in batches. They are easy to store and are very light weight. Then in winter they are on the shelf ready to throw into a soup or slow cooked meal. Here's the journey:
