Too many tomatoes!

Pete1989 · 16 Aug 2013 at 11:46

So we have far too many tomatoes growing in the greenhouse, so what to do with them?
I have already made masses of passata and tomato soup for the freezer, any other ideas?

Lucky. My tomato crop has been rubbish this year.

Yep get some bottles, ketchup and chutney.

Planted mine a little late, massives of green rooms on them now, won't make much though as only have two plants.

Sundried tomatoes in olive oil (or whatever you fancy):

Make passata, and freeze it for making pasta or curry sauces?, or as FT suggested chutney (spicy is best

)

Definitely. Stick some roasted red pepper in with chilli and tomatoes. Nom

Eat them, I eat tomatoes by the bucketload, just a little salt on it, good gravy thats good.

You could make tomato wine? Or some ketchup?

I always have hundreds of green tomatoes growing, but then it gets to this time of year and the weather turns bad and they don't ripen!

Make some green tomato chutney! Trust me, it is lovely. Just cracked into my 2011 vintage. It gets better with age, as long as you properly sterilise your jars and do it properly it will last for years. Kind of hoping some of this years crop do not ripen.
