Some great tomato ideas!
One of my faves is tomato capresse. Alternate thin slices of tomato and mozzarella to form a circle. Drizzle with balsamic vinegars and olive oil. Spinkle some chopped fresh basil on top. Let sit a while for the flavors to meld before serving. Yum!

How about green tomato pie? Just substitute green tomatoes for apples. Dee-licious.

Try drying them. They taste like fruit when eaten out of hand and lend a commanding tomato taste to sauces without adding any liquid. I have two cheap “Ronco” dehydrators and dry my tomatoes when I haven’t enough to bother canning.
