Peak tomato season right now - 3 baskets 10kg (22lbs) each every other day. Canning full steam.

That's an impressive haul, freezing some of those tomatos whole in ziplock bags is a game changer for winter cooking - just run them under warm water and the skins slip right off!

If I manage to find some space in one of the freezers I'm going to freeze a bag to test it this winter - thanks for the suggestion!

I'll be canning a lot of it as passatas (regular and roasted), pasta and pizza sauces, ketchup - the target this year is 300-350 0.9L (~30oz) jars.
