Wow. That’s a life changing tomato tip. Mine were a bust this year, but I’m storing that in the mental file for next year.

I have resorted to freezing tomatoes when overwhelmed, but always skinned them first (work), then made fresh sauce when I hauled them out bit by bit from the freezer.

Never thought about canning them in bulk post-freeze. Thank you for this awesome idea! (and that I don’t have to skin them pre-freeze!!!)

Is getting a 'boop' from Puck as nice as it looks it might be?

I found a super easy pan tomate recipe that only involves toasting the bread to desired brownness, and cutting the tomato in half and shredding it on a box grater. A nice fine pulp and the skins are all that is left for the compost pile, aka, the chicken buffet. Add-ons are whatever you like.
