My mother came home this afternoon with a box full of organic tomatoes. As it turns out, one of her friends had three boxes of these little beauties in her house and needed to part with a few dozen of them. As my she plopped the heavy load onto our kitchen floor, I asked her what I think is a very important question, “who’s going to eat all of these.”
So we decided it would be best to preserve the tomatoes before they begin to spoil. I haven’t gotten the ball rolling on the preservation process yet, but this is going to be the gist of it.
Cut the tomatoes in half and place them onto a large tray. Sprinkle them with salt and a few of your favorite herbs, I’m partial to thyme.
Pack the tomatoes into a sterilized jar and immerse them with olive oil. You may add more herbs if you’d like as well as a few cloves of garlic and spicy peppers. Store the jar in the fridge and enjoy anytime.
