Have you ever noticed how anyone who keeps a vegetable garden always has too many tomatoes?

It’s never “I have a perfect amount of lovely garden tomatoes for my family 😌 🍅 🍅 🍅 “

It’s always “Please, for the love of god, take some tomatoes- we’re drowning in them. We’ve all moved into one closet so the tomatoes can have more room. Our youngest perished under the sheer weight of Romas 😩

Just make tomato soup or tomato sauce, and put it in the freezer.
Make it spicy tomato sauce, and add the cheesy cheese 🤤

@itsok I just consume a lot of tomato sauce during the year... 😅

@Kwek00 I rarely use tomato sauce. I don’t like it that much. I don’t know when that changed. Maybe being bullied by tomato plant owners for so many years

@Kwek00 There's only so much space in the freezer. 😅 Better can it.

@CrazyMusicLover Buy bigger freezer... Mine pretty much is stuffed with tomato sauce and tomato soup. Choices choices I guess.

@itsok I'm pretty addicted to it. I spoon out a bunch of tomato sauce each week. It's low on calories too.

@Kwek00 Last year we had it mostly stuffed with frozen strawberries and other fruits. Blueberries, peaches, raspberries and blackberries. Vegetables like green peas, cucumbers and zuchini. But no tomatoes. They all are canned as juice, purée or ketchup. It's interesting though.

@CrazyMusicLover What do you do with the frozen fruit? Why not make Jam?

I also don't freeze in tomatoes... you make sauce first and then freeze in the sauce.

@Kwek00 There are too many cans of jam and pickled fruits already. Each year more and more. 😆 But I prefer frozen fruits anyway. They are not so sweet. I either let them thaw and eat just like that in winter or put them on a cake or a chocolate pudding. I found some jams from 2014 the other day. 😑

Oh yes, also black currants. I already have some from the last year and should do something with it.

@CrazyMusicLover To each their own, if you like the frozen fruit over the tomato sauce, the choice is easily made. But I have the impression you don't just have too much tomatoes, you just have too much of everything.

@Kwek00 That's true. When it comes to fruit.
