The tomatoes don’t get mushy? What do you store them in?
Vaccum zip lock bags. Well yes, I suppose when thawed they would be mushy, but since I use them to make chili, soup, stewed tomatoes, salsa, or spaghetti sauce, doesn’t really matter.
This was my Granny’s secret that she passed to me. No need to can tomatoes. Just wash them let them air dry, put them in bags and store in the freezer. Don’t even need to peel them.
If they are enormous, I might cut them in quarters though.
Whew, I think I’m done with the garden for today. Got my lemon tree transferred to a slightly larger pot. Transplanted 3 dill plants, 3 cukes, 1 tomato plant. Got about half of one of the patios cleaned off and ready to sweep. Watered everything this AM. Now it’s cloudy and I hear thunder.
Got a roast in the crockpot, and soup on the stove. Think I’ll clean myself up, eat some soup, and lay down on the couch to recuperate. LOL
