I would cut up the cherry tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and roast them slowly in the oven. I made zucchini bread and brownies. I found a recipe for parmesan zucchini bread that was savory rather than sweet. I froze some as well, although zucchini gets kind of soggy frozen. If you shred zucchini and freeze it and use it for bread later, it’s pretty good though. And of course, I gave some away. This year, I’m planning to learn how to can my own tomato sauce.

I’m anxious to hear what others end up doing with their produce this summer. It’s always nice to learn new ideas and recipes.

Roasted slowly in the oven .... yummmmmm! I did that last year with a bunch of tomatoes that just ripened so fast we could not eat them all. It took about 8-10 hours on a very low oven ... drizzled in olive oil. It was hard not to just eat every one of them as they cooled! Those that we did not eat right out of the oven I saved by bagging and freezing them. Whooooa! Makes a great sauce for pasta!

I also canned a few tomatoes, not many, just a little kosher salt and some lemon juice and then processed in a water bath.

Never done the canning before. We opened one jar about two weeks ago and had them as a side ... My oh ... My! Great and fresh tasting, my wife was impressed!

This year, I’m planning to learn how to can my own tomato sauce.

The Ball (canning jars) website has great info and they have what is considered the bible of books on canning, the exact name escapes me, but I'm sure it is on their site, just google it!

Actually canning tomato sauce is not as difficult/complicated as canning just plain tomatoes.

I’m anxious to hear what others end up doing with their produce this summer.

With any luck, I'm going to be selling a lot of mine, either fresh or as jelly or fresh salsa. Lots of folks seem to like hot pepper jelly, but can't be bothered making it, and I love making it!

It’s always nice to learn new ideas and recipes.

Recipes? I love recipes, and I would love your recipe for your zuccini parmesan bread!!!
