Who here doesn’t like tomatoes raw, but enjoys them cooked, in sauces, etc?

Raw tomatoes fresh from the garden, still warm from the sun. Cut into wedges, drop in a bowl and add a couple spoons of cottage cheese. I think I will go pick one and have for supper.
like them any way as long as they are local raised. Grocery store tomatoes are hard and no flavor
We freeze a lot of them for adding to chili. You have to watch them closely as you vacuum seal them. They like to foam a lot as the vacuum pulls the air out of the bag.

Thanks for the PSA about vac sealing. I’ve never done it. But I’ve also never had a bumper crop….

This was me until I was in my mid-30s. Absolutely loved things made with tomatoes, but wouldn’t touch a raw ‘mater with a 10’ pole.

Now I love them in all forms. I’m still not an “eat a beefsteak like an Apple” kinda guy, but just about every other way they come to me is good!
