Garden surplus - canning anyone?

[Peasie]

The tomato crop this year is bountiful. I'm not a spaghetti sauce person any more so what to do with all this tomato? Make bruschetta and can them in small mason jars

<span style="font-weight: bold">Bruschetta-style Salsa</span>

Ingredients

3 cups peeled chopped Italian plum tomatoes ( about 1 1/4 lbs.)
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, minced
1 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pickling salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 green onions, minced
3 tablespoons tomato paste

Directions

Drain tomatoes then combine with garlic, shallots, basil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a large saucepan.
Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat and boil gently 5 minutes. Check consistency, you may need to simmer awhile longer.
Stir in green onions and tomato paste and boil one minute.
Ladle into hot sterilized jars to within 1/2 inch of top.
Process in a hot water bath for 35 minutes for half pints, 40 minutes for pints.
To serve, spoon out onto sliced bread, top with your favourite cheese and broil until cheese is melted.

Yield: 3 half-pint jars

Freeze them. That's what I do with the habernero peppers, the rule is though you DON'T thaw them to use them, you take them out the freezer rinse dem off likkle bit then cut what you want and then put in back in the freezer. Them can tan deh fi months and months and months.....

And me forgot - pickle them! My father always have a jar of peppers, in vinegar and som other vegetable tings...

This is some merican way..but you get the idea
