Let them rot slightly and throw them at your local politicians?

Soup, and freeze. Great on a winters day with home baked bread

We always used to freeze for winter cookery - much cheaper than making
Dutch smallholders rich. So sorry to hear about the grandmothers with
piles - there are some good creams available these days.

When I was into growing tomatoes I blended all the surplus ones into a
puree and froze it in flat polythene bags. Then, if I needed some of
the puree I just broke a chunk off. Flat frozen bags don't take up
much space in the freezer.

I freeze loose tomatoes as they are and take what I want for cooking.

4 Red cherry

tom but they are larger than cherries but not much.

Our local politicians are OK, do a reasonable job for very little, it's the
MPs I would like to throw rotten fruit etc at as some still don't understand
why the country is angry. Just proves how out of touch they are.

I stick them in boiling water for 4 mins, take their skins off and
freeze them small freezer bags (400g at a time) for use in chilllis,
casseroles etc

What a strange idea you have that they 'do a reasonable job for very
little', they only work for 7 months of the year, and for that they get ten
times my income!

The tomato curry in Madhur Jaffrey's first BBC book is stunning and
freezes well.

Moneymaker I've heard of but not Red Cherry. If only we knew what the

The name on the seed packet is 'RED CHERRY'
a site showing these toms', but no real information:-

I doubt we will ever find out what the school ones were.
Son being how he is and the school being the type of school it is, I
have real doubts that anyone will remember what was planted.

Tomatoes freeze well. You dont have to use them all now. Great for soups during the dark cold days of winter.

When I have a glut of Tomatoes as I have now, I use them along with my
courgettes,not done as well this year so I have had to supplement them,
Onions & green peppers both which have done well.
Along with a few select herbs and garlic I make a batch of Ratatouille,
pack into portions and freeze.
Keeps me going until Christmas
