*NOTES FROM Care2.com WEBSITE*

I have tomato storage techniques to help you get through the winter on the local

tomato crop (yours or that of a neighboring farmer). One is a recipe which I

titled Tomato Glut Sauce because it's what you do when you're short on time and

the tomatoes are sitting there on the counter looking reproachfully at you as

the fruit flies gather round.

 

What you need to know about this recipe is that it is more forgiving than your

favorite aunt. The ingredients, other than the tomatoes, garlic and balsamic

vinegar, are pretty much up to you, depending on what you have too much of. The

secret seems to lie in the balsamic vinegar and the roasting process itself.

All the community gardeners who asked me for the recipe came back thanking me

for brightening their whole summer.
