Is that a Brandywine cherry tomato?

No. The big ones. Brads is pretty big for a grape tomato, too. Today’s haul. Gazpacho for dinner.
You're lucky you're out of town or I'd come for dinner.

If you have extras, try pickling them with balsamic+red wine vinegar with garlic and basil.
They are incredible!

Spent yesterday slacking off looking at carnivourous plants so today is buckling down processing tomatoes.
Last year I canned a lot of tomatoes, but I also put some in bags and froze them. When you thaw them, the skins slide right off and a lot of the water comes out of them. Makes them easier to process. I also have one of those mills to separate the seeds and skins.
I just realized why squirrels destroy tomatoes. They think they're walnuts and demolish the tomato. As soon as they realize there's no nut inside they just leave the resultant mess.
I love fresh tomatoes so much I wait for the green ones to ripen. These are ones that fell off before they were ripe.
Sundried tomatoes in the oven.

Yum!
Do you scoop out the seeds and that liquid/gel around them first?
Ummm, seeds and gel!
Not a lot of seeds and delicious goo in these, just chopped and dried. Rehydrate and use in pasta on pizza, soups it’s summer flavour the rest of the year.
Red gold.
Learned a new trick this year for making tomato sauce. A cheese grater can reduce the tomato’s to juice leaving the skin behind quick and easily.

Late tomatoes, still lots more on the vine.
