I've been given a large quantity of cherry tomatoes, some tomatios, and some peppers. I don't want to let them go to waste but I'm not sure exactly what to do. Can this be made into a hot sauce? Is there a good online resource for this type of question?

Yeah! Salsas like pico de gallo would be great if you have an onion.
You can also use tomato and pepper as your base in a lot of curries.
For sure salsa! Roast and season, as onion and fresh cilantro!! You can water bath can it and it’ll be good for a long time on the shelf.
Salsa
You can slice some of the peppers crosswise, wedge them into a glass jar and fill it with vinegar so you’ll have pepper vinegar and pickled peppers for ages.
salsa or shakshouka
I do eggs black beans peppers and roll them into breakfast burritos and freeze them.
Toast them up and blend it up – and then you can make Salsa Chicken or just use it as dip –
Dude some amazing pollo adobo starting w the sofrito this would make…. I actually start every sauce w sofrito despite the origin of the dish btw lol
You could make salsa different types (with the ingredients just perfectly washed and dried blended; with the ingredients broiled in the oven; with the ingredients steamed; with the ingredients sautéed) and eat the salsa with tortilla chips; or use the salsa with the tortilla chips, egg and shredded chicken for chilaquiles; or you can cook the ingredients to make a salsa like the one for the chilaquiles but while still hot, you can add sour cream or cream cheese and make enchiladas with corn tortillas or flour tortillas and shredded chicken or shredded beef meat and more cheese on top.
You can make a ton of different sauces. You can do a fresh salsa by dicing a bit of everything and adding a bit of lemon.
I’d suggest putting them on a grill or roasting in a hot oven until they’re a bit charred and then blend for an amazing sauce
Ground cherry jam!
Entomatadas
It’s like a vegetarian enchilada casserole with corn tortillas, a white cheese filling or shredded Oaxaca cheese and the tomatoes and chilis cooked and pureed. That can be your sauce over your rolled corn tortillas and topped with chopped onions.
Delicious.
Love all these suggestions guys! Thank you so much!
