Rock Chuck I will be headed up that way next Wednesday and I would be happy to take some off your hands… We don't have any frost in the forecast before then so they should still be good. I'm going hunting but should be home Wed afternoon at the latest. I will send you a PM Wednesday when I get to Hagerman.

I’d make fresh pico de gallo by the gallon. I can eat that stuff every single day, and with every single meal.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

i just core them and toss them in freezer bags. take out and thaw and the skin comes right off. good for chili and also can be run through a juicer easy to get rid of the seeds. canning is good too but kind of a PITA. We've done that a lot. However, right now we only have room for 1 elk and the season opens soon. I'd hate to have to throw out a bunch of tomatoes to get an elk squeezed in.

Tomato Preserves MINUS the nutmeg or cinnamon that is recommended in many recipes.
Try a little you may like the addition of spices.

We have over 100 qts canned now but the maters just keep coming. We're out of jars and storage space. That's storing a lot of water. Powder takes up hardly any space. Call up a nursing home and ask if they can use some. Great idea there for sure.

When you dry tomatoes, you'll be surprised at how much salt is in them. There's lots of natural MSG in tomatoes. I don't think it's harmful like the copious amounts of industrial MSG in fast food, but it does enhance flavor. If you have sore joints or muscles, you might want to try to eliminate the night shade family of plants and tomatoes for a couple of weeks. Drink lots of water and eat lots of dark greens and see if it clears up. A lot of seniors are on meds that can change diet and see results. I don't know if that's you, or any in your family, but it's a very common correctable condition JFYI and anyone reading this.

Google: night shade vegetables .learn and hurt less I like pretty much all of the nightshades, so I get reminded from time to time. It's probably true of a lot of folks suffering so much that they get the series of shots and meds. Eventually are convinced to go for surgery and unnecessary joint replacements. Nobody ever took the time or cared enough to share that valuable info. That's why I look at meals with pasta sauce, peppers, etc as a treat and not a regular staple. They're enjoyable in limited amounts.

Pick them green and pickle them in salt brine. Soak them when you take them out of the can to get the salt out then slice them up and fry them in bacon grease with sweet corn.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.

Between salsa and spaghetti sauce, there is no such thing as "excess" tomatoes around here.

To beat the frost, we plan on taking a bucket to church to share.
