 :)best recipe for canning jalapenos at www.lesleycooks.com, I have also frozen jalapenos just like sweet green peppers using my food saver. they keep well and can be used in canned salsa recipes later. the same thing can be done with tomatoes, freeze whole, use later. This method works for me, and while these veggies are frozen, i am able to can the veggies that ripen first, cukes, zucchinis, etc. This is when i get my relishes done.

maxie...freeze tomatos? Please tell us more? Lots of water going on in a tom. Doesn't it make the flesh...well...kinda mushy?

I freeze tomatos but you are right they are mushy. I don't use them as tomato slices but as pulp for sauces. We typically have so many tomatos that during the season this is an easy way to store them. We throw them in a bag and freeze them.....no special prep. You feel a whole lot more eager to mess with them when there is snow on the ground rather than in the middle of the havest season.
