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

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)

How about making Salsa? Or homemade spaghetti sauce.

Freeze them
