Tomato Overload

 The once green tomatoes in the studio went from barely ripe to "do something now" in what seemed like overnight. Granted, I was out of town for 5 days, but still! So the last 2 days have been about salvaging what is left and making things. We have enough salsa and spaghetti sauce for the year, and then some, plus the peppers are gone...so more creative things were I order.

Four more quarts of canned whole tomatoes, not creative but uses lots of the smaller rounds. Plus four pans of roasted tomatoes for the freezer.  An online search revealed new items such as bruchetta topping and tomato jam.  SO...5 pints and 2 half pints of bruschetta and two batches of tomato jam - 12 jars in all. One has ginger, the other cinnamon and I added some hot pepper mash. Both are sweet.A double batch of tomato bisque soup to finish out the two day marathon on tomato putting up...and there are still four flats left!

Still, there is noting like a heritage tomato fresh from the garden.  I am forever a spoiled tomato consumer snob!
