Stew up about a kg at a time, chopped coarsely, in a big pan. Reduce slowly to get rid of most of the moisture.
When cool put small amounts into plastic bags and freeze.
Use later in stews, sauces, soups, pizzas etc.
Works best with big beefy tomatoes.

Oven-roasted tomato sauce. I put a recipe on the food pages at last a year ago. It is very concentrated, so you can freeze it in smallish amounts.

Tomato sauce for pasta?

I always make lots of ratatouille. Goes well with many meals or I also like it on it's own hot or cold with some crusty bread. Lots of recipes online GrandmaH

OK- I'm being a bit previous but I have just counted my tomato plants & I have 43!!
Red, orange, yellow & black. All thriving.

I have sold about 30 at WI so far & donated some to neighbours & family but even so I am going to have a heck of a lot of tomatoes come August.
Apart from chutney (still have 8 jars from last year untouched) & soup does anyone have any good recipes that use LOTS of tomatoes please? I think need to plan ahead.
Oh yes & 12 chilli plants- all different varieties & strengths. Luckily these will freeze well.
I just got carried away & everything germinated for once.
