My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)
I cook mine, sieve out the skin and seeds and bottle as fresh passata. Still a jar left from last year.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Tomato sauce, tomato soup, tomato and courgette soup, or just peel, chop, heat thorough briefly and freeze in blocks for use later. I still have 2 blocks of tomato from last year (started off with about 50 and had to buy a 2nd "emergency" freezer to accomodate them!).

That's why I like bottling things, freezer space is at a premium

OH makes a pasta sauce using our toms, onions, basil, peppers etc and it goes into ice cream tubs to be pulled out on a cold winters day to go with some spaghetti or fusilli or pasta of whatever type we fancy, really tasty and filling and literally costing pennies, I will never be rich but I wont be hungry...
One year I grew loads of toms and Hubby roasted a load and made the most delicious soup. He also bought a can of beans, and made 'real' beans on toast. Ruddy lovely!

I like to dry my toms! place them in a low oven for a few hours, they will resemble sundried ones then pack into jars and cover with olive oil, you can place cloves of garlic in with them! saves on buying those expensive ones in deli.
