I did not season my tomato sauce because I want to use it in a variety of ways later. If you prefer, you can season it before freezing.

I just plucked the last few small plum tomatoes off the branches, I can't believe they lasted into October! And I still have a few jalapenos on the plant, will leave those for a few days until they get a bit bigger. My freezer runneth over from this bumper crop!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a good year, crops started early and ran late. - Margy
DeleteIt looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteStephanie and Linda - It was so much easier than canning with only a few tomatoes to process at a time. - Margy
ReplyDeleteIf I could actually grow tomatoes, I could do this! I have done this, actually!
ReplyDeleteTomatoes are so forgiving. The only problem I have is eating them all, so freezing sauce helps me use them later on. Try one plant in a pot. Roma tomatoes do well that way and they don't produce a whole lot. - Margy
