For the last 3-4 years i've used a lot of my surplus tomatoes up by making tomato Kasundi. But i dont really eat much of it myself and give the vast majority of it away. I also freeze some of the chopped or cherry tomatoes for using in casseroles, pasta dishes etc but I have a small freezer so cant do a huge amount. Has anyone got a recipe for bottling tomatoes (jars) that I could try, TIA. I realise I could just google it, but if anyone has a good tasty recipe id appreciate it.

Its a relish made with Indian spices. Really nice, going by all the comments i get and the way my brother in Law scoffs it down - apparently he will sit and eat it by the spoonful straight out of the jar, it doesnt last very long . LOL.

I turn a lot of my tomatoes into this https://www.annabel-langbein.com/recipes/harvest-tomato-sauce/292 I freeze it in flattened plastic bags which don't take up much room stacked & it's easy to break off the amount you need. I can't see why it couldn't be put in jars with air tight seals. You can make it into soup or pizza/pasta sauce . very useful mixture to have on hand.
