why not dehydrate some tomatos... ""sun dried" and you can keep them awhile..

Have to box, cover the tomatoes to slow them down as lots of green ones too. Thinking lots of raw veggie pizza and considering freezing them as "finished." May start new topic for my pizza talk.

Thanks Shari for your Apple Pie --"Not Your Grama's Apple Pie".

Right now got so many tomatoes picked and trying to hold them back from ripening so quickly--orange roma, red roma, other red tomatoes...then several red or orange large bell peppers. Have to box, cover the tomatoes to slow them down as lots of green ones too.

Here is my apple pie recipe. I call it: "Not Your Grama's Apple Pie". A couple years ago I sent it into our local PBS (Public Broadcasting Station) for their fall fund drive. Didn't get picked to be on t.v. but was published in their cook book! EnjoyALMOND-PECAN PIE CRUST1 cup almonds, soaked 8 - 12 hours1/2 cup pecans, soaked 8 - 12 hours1/3 cup soft dates, pitted and chopped3 tablespoons waterIn separate bowls, cover almonds and pecans with water and let soak for 8 to 12 hours. Drain and rinse.In a food processor, grind almonds to consistency of moist meal. Place in a medium-size bowl and set aside. (Almonds are harder and less oily than pecans, so they should be ground separately.)In a food processor, grind pecans to consistency of moist meal and stir into almond meal. Set aside.In a food processor, blend dates and water until smooth. Stir into nut mixture until thoroughly mixed and dough-like consistency. (I usually end up using my hands.)Push into an 8" pie pan all over the bottom and up the sides.NOT YOUR GRAMA'S APPLE PIE1/3 cup soft dates, pitted3 tablespoons water6 apples, cored, peeled, and shredded (I always use my food processor with the shredder blade)1/4 teaspoon cinnamon2 tablespoons almond butter1 teaspoon vanilla extractIn a food processor, blend dates and water until mixture is a smooth paste (might need more water). Place in a large mixing bowl.Add apples, cinnamon, almond butter and vanilla and mix thoroughly.Spoon filling into pie shell, spread evenly and top with slivered almonds and dates. Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve chilled.===
