Serving Suggestions:

• John’s update this week offers details about bulk tomato purchases for those who like to can or freeze. If you’re interested please see his note at the bottom of the attached update. For those who might be considering the bulk tomatoes, but are not experienced in preserving them, I compiled a few helpful links:
  • National Center for Food Preservation (see the menu on the left side)
  • Ball’s Tomato canning recipes (tested recipes from the most famous name in preservation supplies)
  • Food52 recipe (simple, no bells or whistles)
  • Reddit thread on why you can’t safely can diced tomatoes at home (something I did not know and judging by the comments is not common knowledge among home cooks)
