Tomato jam is pretty good and keeps well. Salsa too. If you’re sick of sauce and soup, although personally I can’t freeze enough sauce, then I’d look at pickling and fermenting.

Came here to say salsa!!! We’ve had huge batches the last few weeks. So yummy 🤤

If you’ve loads of green tomatoes, CHUTNEY. I’m in my bumper crop at the moment so I’m chopping and freezing in bags so I can sauce and can them once the heat dies down, but alternatively… sundried or oven roasted jarred in oil. Tonight I’m making Shakshuka with peppers, poached eggs in the tomatoes, and chunky hashbrowns.
Salsa, tomato jam, bruschetta, gazpacho.

Make friends with your neighbors by dropping some off. Take them to a free produce serve, like Food Not Bombs.

Pickle ‘in a real pickling crock’ the green tomatoes in 1/2″ slices, and the green beans. Use the rest to eat whole and in sandwiches.
Homemade ketchup is shockingly fantastic! I used the ball recipe and it belongs on a charcuterie board!

I make sauce by either roasting them first and then putting them in a pot or just throwing them all into a pot. I’ve also seen blistered tomatoes with feta but I haven’t done that yet.

You could try “balsamic mozzarella chicken” (believe that’s the term to find the recipe online). It’s basically seasoning a few chicken breast’s, whole bunch of halved cherry tomatoes mixed with some seasonings, balsamic and red onion. Then you top the chicken with mozzarella. Serve with egg noodles to absorb the sauce!

I don’t know but I’m jealous of this haul!

I make a quick roasted tomato “salsa”… roast tomatoes, garlic, onion with olive oil. Add lime juice, oregano, chives, sometimes cumin. Blend with immersion blender. Eats like a soup but great as a dip or sauce.
Didn’t see anyone suggest this yet, but confit is fantastic! Made some with my cherry tomatoes & had some of it with on top of toast this AM with eggs. Really delish!
[This](https://youtu.be/a03U45jFxOI?si=awOkHm_phWD_wEjZ) is a link to my favorite butter chicken recipe. You can use any tomatoes in it. I like using cherries because the curry is blended and sieved and that takes care of all the stems and seeds with almost no effort. It’s also quite easy and SO delicious. It works just fine if the tomatoes have been frozen! Just let them thaw completely and drain off all the water that comes out of them.
You can also use fresh tomatoes in shakshuka if you don’t mind the seeds. You could peel them if you want the skins gone.
This week I’ll also can some salsa ranchera and some tomato-peach salsa.

Baked Brie or feta with cherry tomatoes around. Put a little olive oil over everything, and season to your liking. Bake at 350 until the tomatoes have popped or are close to. Mix everything together and add pasta. Garnish with basil.

If you eat sausage, there is an amazing Jaime Oliver recipe here:

[Shakshouka](https://gimmedelicious.com/shakshouka/) is nice and is great with fresh tomatos.
You can can salsa to eat over the winter.
I make tomato pies and freeze them.

[Oven slow roasted tomatoes](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/eatwell/recipes/slow-roasted-cherry-tomatoes/XPRBKHLG3OI7GPYUK4X7S5R4UY/)
[Tomato and Passionfruit Jam ](https://www.womensweeklyfood.com.au/recipe/quick-and-easy/passionfruit-and-tomato-jam-5300/).
The recipe I use (from 1950s I believe), is similar but with no lemon juice, and it turns out fine and tastes great.
Paste. All those tomatoes make like a pint of paste and you can keep it for months.
