As summer winds down the tomato plants ramp up and we’ve got a bountiful harvest coming in. Some we use fresh – in fact we try to enjoy as many as we can fresh – but what to do with the rest?

Sharing is good: if you have friends and family that don’t raise their own tomatoes. A couple of Sundays ago we went to church and found a large basket of ripe, red tomatoes sitting inside the door. From the pulpit, the pastor clarified, “Those tomatoes inside the door are for taking home and eating, not for throwing at your pastor.”

Tomato season doesn’t last long, so it’s a good idea to preserve for use later what you don’t eat or give away. Here are my favorite ways to preserve tomatoes to be enjoyed throughout the year.
