Tomatoes and more tomatoes!

[Robo410]

just put up 2 bushels of tomatoes as sauce: roasted with garlic and basil, olive oil, s and p. used a food mill on medium to break them all down. saved the "water" for broth. 16 qts of sauce in the freezer . A lot more gets done to it before it becomes dinner, but the major work is done in an evening.
