Tis the season to pick tomatoes! We picked two sacks full of tomatoes and there are tripple as many still green on the vines. Last Christmas I got Mark a tomato press, and today we broke it in. The idea is to cook the tomatoes for about 15 seconds to loosen the skins, then dice them in 1" pieces so the press can grab them easily. Scoop all the pieces up and put them in the top of the press while another cranks away to seperate the good juice from the bad seeds and skins. Last year we would take half a day to seperate by hand, now it takes just minutes! Can't wait for the next gift from our garden!
