tomato chutney. or relish. Whatever. I made two big jars. Also ketchup.
Or try enchilada sauce, which I did this time. It’s a bit watery as I only have a water bath canner (and therefore am limited to what I can can to be shelf-stable, unlike pressure canners) but it will thicken up nicely when needed.
barbecue sauce this year, which required skinning the tomatoes, which requires blanching and iced water, which is entirely too much faffing about for my liking, but I like barbecue sauce. The smoky, sweet, thick kind. I’ve got my fingers crossed for when I open these babies. The link isn’t the recipe I used (cos I can’t remember it!) but that’s the one I want to try next.
semi-dried tomatoes from Foxslane. Ugh. I want them so bad.
chilli tomato jam, or this chilli tomato sugo. Make tons and can the former, freeze the latter.
Or you could try:
Tomato Sauce (recipes for both water bath and pressure canners)
Passata (I want that giant pot!)
Carrot, Tomato, and Coconut Soup (really only including this for the newborn spam!)
Make Your Own Canned Pizza Sauce
So what are you gonna make? What’s your tomato glut go-to recipe?
This post is amazing since tomatoes are always in the fridge. Thank you so much for the recipe inspirations.<33

Here’s to a delicious tomatoey year!
So far I’ve done 15 jars of the River Cottage Roasted Tomato Passata and 8 jars of Ball Preserving Book Bruschetta-In-A-Jar. So yummy!
ooh bruschetta in a jar! Did you have to pressure can that? Yum!
No! Just water bath. I got the recipe from this book http://m.bookdepository.com/Complete-Book-Home-Preserving/9780778801313
Essentially you put tomatoes into your heated jars and pour over this hot mix of vineyard and herbs. So excited to taste it on crusty bread when it’s winter!
ah hot vinegar! of course!
God I love tomatoes! Thanks for including our tomato passata, Stace. We are sun drying some tomatoes in a thunderstorm today… er… not quite working! Hopefully the sun will resume operation tomorrow!!! x
haha humid tomatoes!
I made tomato relish and tomato passata this year. So good!
isn’t it! Love relish with cheese and crackers.
My pantry was chock full of passata when my plants were producing. Every time I made a batch of Kate’s oven dried tomatoes we ate them almost immediately! They are the very best. Since my plants have finished I picked up bags of toms on the cheap & just last Friday scored a boxed of second quality ones for 10 bucks! I actually jarred up some whole peeled tomatoes & tried drying them in the dehydrator- they are OK but not a smidge as good as the oven dried ones. I’ll stick to that method forever. I ran out of jars so still have half a box on the bench that I gotta do stuff with s soon as I get my hands on more jars. Thanks for the tips x
I just keep ordering more online! soon I’ll be able to build a glass house.

I want to swim in tomatoes just so I can make ALL the things! Toms are noms! Wish I had a balcony big to grow them and a larder big enough to store my spoils. A girl can dream, can’t she?!
That sounds like my dream!
Awesome! I also grow tomatoes in my garden and I got many recipes from you. And I want to share my experience about why are tomatoes not turning red in here:
