I have more tomatoes then I know what to do with.
I eat them in sandwiches, salads, and sometimes just plain, but every day now I have between 6-10 more that ripen in my garden. I've given some away, but it looks like this is going to continue for the rest of the summer.
What do /ck/?

keep giving them away
i put them out by my driveway and they're gone quick but i live in hayseed country and people feel as good about themselves in taking them as we do giving them away. same goes for chicken eggs
put them out at a stand with a tip jar and "free for the taking, tips if you want" or a similar wording and you'll be amazed at what happens
worst case scenario is you get rid of them and have a whole bunch of people who will run into your house to try and save you if it is burning down, because you've made yourself a pillar of the community. you are the tomato guy. don't underestimate the importance of this

This, just give them away. Fucking things are all ripe at the same time.
When you can get a 28 ounce can for 99 cents, why bother canning them? Too much effort.

You'd be very wrong. There's china sets that are worth tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the maker and the time period. Shit, even my china is worth more than it was when it was new, and I bought it at a thrift store. It's an old mid-century modern pattern by a german china company, and one coffee cup (not even with the saucer) goes for over a hundred dollars now.

The ones in the cans are just as fresh and good as the ones you will can yourself.
Remember, canned tomatoes are not picked green, shipped long distances, stored for a long time, and artificially ripened. They are picked at peak condition and preserved immediately, and with a lot more expert skill than your sorry ass could manage.

Tomatoes freeze very well, you don't even need to cook or cut them at all, just stick them in bags of half a dozen and throw in the freezer.
They end up like rocks so if you have a potato cannon then they'd be excellent ammunition if you need to remove a neightbour three streets away but don't do that.

Sun-dried tomatoes aren't a bad idea, make sauces and tomato paste and freeze. Any kind of reduction.

I'd mostly just freeze them whole though and then make whatever you want when you want it.

god i hate faggots like you
commercial canning is done at a much higher temperature and it definitely negatively affects the final product
also the shipping and handling is much more excessive from factory, to warehouse, to grocery store, to your house and that also negatively affects the final product
not to mention the """"best"""" commercial canned tomatoes usually come from europe which is even more excessive

eat a home canned tomato once in your life before spouting your dumb opinions
