Thanks, OG! I'll be back in a few days after "digesting" all this! *NYUCK-NYUCK*

The second link leads to the same URL as the first, though. Thanks again!

Interesting, almost none of the links from the Lycos site work. Are they having problems, hack attack maybe?

Sorry about that. That second link should be a TAMU site. Watch this space!

I freeze extra tomatoes, skin and all. When I want to use them, I run them under hot water (just the opposite of blanching fresh), and the skin slips right off. I chop them while still partially frozen, and then add to sauce, sloppy joe, salsa (and fresh salsa is such a treat in February!), whatever. Just don't use them in salad. That's kinda blicky. They're good to go for any type of cooking, though.

Yep, absolutely--freeze the buggers. Saves all that canning and works as well as Yerfdog says. I saved even that work by giving away all the extras last year :)
