I picked a 5 gallon bucket full of San Marzanos on Saturday the 5 gallons of whole tomatoes made 11 pints of tomato sauce. Picked another bucket full Sunday and made 9 quarts of sauce. All told we have:
28 quarts and 14 pints of chopped or whole tomatoes,
6 pints of tomato juice
11 pints of sauce
9 quarts of sauce
6 pints of tomato/pepper mixture (like Ro-Tels)
I didn't make any ketchup or tomato salsa this year.
There may be a bushel left on the plants. I put an add on Craig's list - "Free tomatoes, U-pick."
With the green beans, corn salsa, and tomatoes we canned, plus the jams and jellies and corn we froze and the pounds of garlic an onions in the
'fridge I'm feeling pretty good about surviving the coming apocalypse.
