I still seem to have gadzillions of titchy tomatoes waiting to be eaten, despite a surfeit yesterday. I suppose, given that I picked a huge potful in the morning and then another huge potful in the evening, it's hardly surprising. Ah, well, I have six more portions of a very delicious roasted tomato sauce for the freezer and intend to make more and I am already dreaming of green tomato chutney (and how much time I will save using Thermione for all the chopping).
Today I want to rest. I'm going back to bed again shortly as I can feel the tiredness beginning to wash over me. I reckon I could get another couple of hours of shut-eye if I try! I have a Sunday lunch to cook, of course, but that's OK and won't be a problem.
Diane, I have a question for you, if I may ask. If I boiled a whole load of new potatoes, cooled them and vacu-packed them, how long would they last in the fridge? It would be a grand time saver, assuming they stay good for a reasonable length of time.
OK, so I'm back off to bed. Fingers crossed that the sleepy feeling translated into a good snooze! 'Night!
I do this when I have a surfeit of spuds that would only end up sprouting. I have kept them for well over two weeks and they are fine. I expect they would keep even longer if you need to. I pack them in sizes to suit us which is three but individual portions would also be fine. To reheat I just drop the bag in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes or blast them in the microwave. Hope you manage to get a couple of hours it is a real pain waking up so early.
