Jens -- Sorry, forgot in my previous post....you might also consider canning some tomatoes and chiles in a hot water bath -- I have mentioned frequently a canned tomato-chile recipe that my wife and I make every year. Tomatoes are run through a food mill and added to a pureed onion-chile mixture, then simmered and canned. The final product is definitely much, much better than the sum of the parts -- this is our favorite way to preserve tomatoes. If you cannot find this recipe by searching the archives (particularly from last summer) let me know and I will re-post it. By the way -- my wife and I learned a valuable lesson this season about using a food mill. We composted all of our tomato skins and seeds from the food mill last year, and we had roughly 6,000 volunteer tomato plants this year.... Matt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ T.

I not only grow chiles, I also grow tomatoes .... Now my sweet problem is ... I will have too much tomatoes on my hands come harvest time this year :) Does anyone have a recipe for ketchup, preferable one that has a result that can be saved for a while ... ie months ...
