<p>Simply toss your tomatoes (washed and dried) into a walmart type bag and stick in the freezer.&nbsp; When you thaw them out for cooking or canning, the skins will slip right off.&nbsp; We usually save enough for spaghetti sauce.&nbsp; We cook up a nice pot of sauce then save the leftovers in the freezer also.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This trick has been a relief for us.&nbsp; It is hard to can all the vegetables when they become ripe all at once!</p>]]></description><link><![CDATA[http://www.forgetmenotfarms.org/recipe/1324]]></link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Aug 2010 17:07:34 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[New recipe: Pasta Salad With Tomatoes, Eggplant & Basil]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Serves 6-8<br /><br />2 medium eggplants (about 1 pound total), cut into &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />1/2-inch-thick rounds<br />1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more to brush<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />on eggplant<br />1/4 cup lemon juice from 2 lemons<br />1/2 tsp grated lemon zest<br />2 medium cloves garlic, divided, minced or put &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />through garlic press<br />1/2 tsp red pepper &#64258;akes<br />1 pound short, bite-sized pasta such as fusilli, farfalle,<br />or bowtie<br />2 large tomatoes, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch<br />chunks<br />15 fresh basil leaves, shredded<br /><br />1.
