I have a bumper crop of grape tomatoes. Any ideas on how to preserve them?

Question

I've done salads and used them in stir fries. I've dried some as well.  I have canned tomatoes for years but never had so many grape tomatoes. We thought we planted "Roma" tomatoes in the Spring but the plants were mis-marked.

How about tomato jam???

3 c. cut up tomatoes
2 c. sugar
1 box lemon Jello

Cook from boiling point for 15 minutes. Take off stove and add 1 box of lemon Jello. Sometimes I add a little ginger. Cook until it forms a web between the prongs of a fork. This may take an hour or more. Stir frequently, especially at the beginning and end.
Makes 4 jam jars.

I use a few different drying techniques.    I use my dehydrator to dry tomatoes to a leathery texture (long storage)
I oven dry tomatoes and store them in herbed extra virgin olive oil.     (a few weeks).     

Make gazpacho and freeze it.

Have a brunch party and serve bloody mary's with homemade tomato juice.   

Donate some to a food pantry/shelter

Use a food mill to get rid of the skins.    My god.   I can only imagine the insanity of blanching and pealing grape tomatoes....lol.     

Something like this (if you don't already have one)
