I make relish then I make puree and freeze the puree into meal sized blocks. Puree uses heaps of tomatoes and I use it throughout the year in cooking.

I freeze my tomatoes and use throughout the year. takes the pressure off having to use them all at once

Have you thought about donating some of them to charity? Community Fruit Harvesting will take them to turn into sauce or relish for needy families all done by volunteers if they get given the fruit (tomatoes are a fruit). Check out their website pickfruit - for locations.
