Last week I decided to add 20 pounds of tomatoes to my bountiful basket order. Really, How much is 20 pounds, right??? Well, its ALOT...
Now I had to figure out what to do with them... Pinterest, here I come! I started with washing my big basket of goods.
Lettuce, Asparagus, Avocados, Bananas, Broccoli and More..
My boss said to make sauce {ofcourse she did, she's old school Italian} Okay, I'm playing an Italian wife so I thought, what the heck.....
If you have never boiled and peeled tomatoes before {you must} I cored the tomatoes and then dropped them in boiling water. 3 minutes later they were peeling on their own. When you strain them to peel them, make sure to wear gloves. I didn't and burnt the heck out of my fingers
{I'm impatient and the gloves were too far away}
Put your peeled tomatoes in a blender and puree away... then jar and you now have crushed tomatoes ready for homemade sauce.... Yum.
Then I had to decide what to do with the rest of the tomatoes.....
Hmm, my dehydrator. I sliced 10 of them, seasoned with Italian seasoning {yes, I'm staying in theme} and dehydrated them. Once they were finished I packed them with oil and put them them in the fridge. They are awaiting my next piece of "Italian Bread" and Brie cheese.... so good.
Pizza Time- Yes, everything is getting a sliced tomato at this point!
