So, I got some advice from my sweet neighbors across the street to cook them down. Yeah..I had no idea how to do it at first, but here is my attempt and I think they turned out pretty good.
First stick them in the water whole and let them get good and hot.
I let mine come to a boil for one minute.
When they are done, I cooled mine off faster by putting them in a colander and running cold water over them. Then you peel them. Boiling them is the trick to a fast and easy tomato peeling job. Here is a pic of before (right) and after (left).
Next, cut the tomatoes up in to chunks and put them in a pot, juice and all. Cook them until they are hot all the way through. It turns into a soupy looking consistency.
Note: I went ahead and seasoned them with a little bit of salt, but this is optional.
Once they are cooled down, put in a freezer bag and freeze for the winter...
This is gonna make us some yummy soup.
