Roasted tomato sauce and pumpkin
I cleaned up the tomatoes a bit; lots of them on the verge (or just past) of going bad. Did the roasted tray method with them. I got 7 1.5 pint jars first batch and 6 1.5 pint jars second batch (total of 9 3/4 quarts). Should really have done more, but its too late tonight and I need to go to farm tomorrow.
I also started processing the pumpkins. I figured I would freeze most of them since its just easier and most pumpkin will be used for puree (pie, custard, etc). I did 4 pints of puree. I ran it through the squeeze-o and then pureed it in the vitamix. Turned out very smooth. The pumpkin is in wide mouth pints, ready to be frozen - I will take it up with me tomorrow and freeze it at the farm (more room in that freezer).
