One year I had a ton of little plum tomatoes and read an article about smoking them. First you dehydrate them a little in a dehydrator or in your oven on low heat. Then you smoke them on the grill or in a smoker. They are really good and you use them like sundried tomatoes or just eat them plain.
Brenda and Angie - Thanks to both of for the websites. I have visited both and have bookmarked them. I have 2 1/2 bushels sitting in my kitchen and am going to start tomato soup today. We went away for the weekend and I seriously thought someone would come by and take them all away, but I guess my Irish wishing ran down the track with the horses. Oh well, I've been wanting to find a good soup recipe anyway and now that I'm retired, I have time to make it and I am sure I will be very grateful during the coming year.
Hello - I just wanted to report on the soup. I have just finished my first batch (got 19 pints) and it is wonderful. I have enough tomatoes to make another batch and am going to start it today. We eat a lot of tomato soup, especially during the winter for lunch.
