    I'd love any recipes you have, too.  I'm overrun with tomatoes this year and am not sure what to do with them all!

     

    TIA!

    I'm not sure if this is something like you are looking for, but it is T&T. I have been making this for over 20 years now.

    Fresh Marinara Sauce
    6 lbs. ripe tomatoes
    6 cloves garlic, minced
    2 lg. onions, chopped
    3 or 4 carrots, chopped (DH doesn't like carrots, so I leave them out)
    2-3 tbsp. vegetable oil
    2 tbsp. dried basil
    1 tbsp. dried oregano
    salt & pepper to taste

    I do all my chopping in the food processor. Drop tomatoes into boiling water for 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and plunge into a large bowl of ice cubes and water. The peels will slip right off. Core, cut into chunks and put in a collander. I usually do about 6-8 tomatoes at a time. Give them a few squeezes to remove some of the liquid and seeds. Drain a minute. Chop or process.
    In a large pot, saute the onion and garlic in the oil. Add the tomatoes- should be about 11 or 12 cups after chopping. I do this in batches and just keep adding tomatoes to the pot until I have 12 cups. Add the basil and oregano. Simmer briskly until reduced by half, stirring occaisionally. I wait til it starts reducing before adding salt and pepper, since the flavors will concentrate. Let cool completely before freezing. I lay the bags flat and they take up very little space in the freezer.
    Enjoy!
