I'm with you, Tom(but not in Switzerland!) In an apartment, there is no room for tomatillas, but every year, I buy a crate of them from my produce
guy, remove their raincoats, wash 'em, simmer in a little water, and freeze in an amount that I use in green chile stew, amongst other things. I can
do 10 lbs and have them in the freezer in less than two hours, in plastic containers. Simple! Handy, too, and much better than canned! Cheers, Doug
