Hey Matt,
Last year I was overwhelmed with cherry tomatoes.....well what did I
expect planting two dozen varieties.? DUH!
I canned a bunch of them whole, worked great for adding to soups, or
making sauces. You can also grind them up into a puree and cook down
for sauces.
This year I only planted 8 cherry tomatoes, but I am seeing some
volunteer tomatoes that I fear will be cherry toms, here we go again.
VBG
I hope NOT to have to can any tomatoes this year. I think I have a
four year supply for us, and the kids.
