Top 5 ways I use my (extra) tomatoes, so I have that fresh tomato taste all year long.

1--Can them--they can be used as a vegetable or in cooking

2--Make tomato juice--fresh tomato taste--better than any you will buy

3---Freeze them--no peeling required and they are great for soups and stews or any cooked dish.

4---Make chili sauce and seal in jars.

5---Make spaghetti sauce and freeze

Oh, and don't forget

Combine all ingredients except bread in a small bowl and chill.
