Default Pending Glut of Tomatoes...

Right - I've dealt with the glut of basil and am beginning to look
like tagliatelle with pesto.........

Now the tomatoes are ripening. These are four plants my cousin gave me
They are going through the GH roof and drooping with fruit. Here's the
crunch - I don't like raw tomatoes !

Ant good recipes for them please ?? Preferably NOT chutney as we don't
eat much of it in our house and I prefer Branston Pickle :~))

I've just made a batch of salad dressing which used up some of our glut
of ripe tomatoes and courgettes. I skinned the fruits first (optional),
simmered them with a little salt till soft, then blended them. Meanwhile
I made up a sauce of cornflour, olive oil, one whole egg, mustard
powder, cider vinegar, lemon juice, paprika and turmeric. (All
quantities ad.lib). Put the blended dressing back in the saucepan.
simmer again stirring in the sauce until cooked. Add fine shredded fresh
herbs to taste, I used oregano and basil. Best used fresh, but it will
keep in a fridge.
