What do I do with 6lbs of tomatoes!

[Lady Henevere]

Ugh.

Searching for recipes I read that 40 lbs of tomatoes turns into 8 pints of sauce

Where am I going to get 40 lbs of tomatoes?

Check nearby pick-your-own farms. There's one up here that sells Romas for 25 cents a pound over labor day weekend.

You can also make a jar or two of sauce at a time; just make a pot of sauce, jar up what you don't use right away, and boil the jars. It's a great way to keep leftovers and you don't have to do the whole 40-lb recipe at once.

I made a couple of jars at a time but I also took tomatoes as they ripened, ducked them in hot water then cold to make the skins peel, then tossed them in a freezer bag. Once I had a lot, I fired up the big pot and started cooking
