When I make salsa I use every tomato I have from my garden, including the cherry and grape tomatoes. This year I did two batches of salsa, and a batch of "soup starter". Soup starter is very similar to salsa, at least it starts out the same.
Soup starter includes every left over, stray, and odd ball veggie from my garden that I like thrown in with the tomatoes, bell pepper, onions, cilantro, and oregano. I also add in one can of tomato paste to thicken it up a bit. I use this soup starter with chicken in my crock pot in the cold wintery months. It sure makes things speed up quite a bit.
Even my neighbors had tomato overload, one dropped by with some beautiful read tomatoes and a bell pepper. I still owe him a jar of salsa, so I think there's another batch that's going to have to be done up this week.
What do you do with your excess tomatoes?
