Ok so I got half a pallet of cherry tomatoes and would like to make a sauce for the smokehouse...apart from the obvious ketchup has anyone got any good recipes that would fit the bill???
I've also got a whole bunch of pineapples too..?

Stomp on them with your feet and make tomato wine.

Roast them until the skin is chard and then make salsa

Pineapple Salsa!

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine pineapple, tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, and jalapenos. Add lime juice and toss to coat.
Season to taste with salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce, if using. Allow flavors to blend at room temperature for 30 minutes, or chill until serving time. Serve with tortilla chips.

Think this would jar up to preserve it?

You guys eat Haggis and Spotted Dick, does it really matter if it preserves it?

IDK but would imagine it would last for a time in the refrigerator.

I got two boxes of chilli's aswell so will throw them in, I think this salsa would go nice with haggis and spotted dick

Please don't jar.

How the heck am I gonna keep a half pallet of tomatoes and several boxes of pineapples then?

I think it would jar up very well. Both pineapples and tomatoes are acidic. Add Serrano peppers to make it even more so.

Tomatoes sliced and covered in sharp cheddar on smoker or grill make a great side dish. Smoked pineapple spears will make you slap your mama.

All sounds good
Please explain 'slap your mama'

its a southern expression, to translate: if you eat something so spicy it makes you assault your female parental unit with an open handed attack. lol


it is also the name of some hot seasoning made in Louisiana.

Its a metaphor how great something tastes

So good makes you so angry that you feel like slapping your mom for feeding you mediocre food.

This is how I learned what it meant. Not that it's spicy, more that when you eat it and realize it tastes better than anything your mamma cooked, you slap her for not cooking such good food for you in the past.

i always took it to mean hot, i guess associating it with the spice company.

which - happens to be good on just about everything.

I would take those cherry tomatoes and shoot them out of a slingshot at people who don�t like Metallica or willie Nelson

Put up some spiced tomato sauce for chili and spaghetti. Add onions, bell pepper, SPG, and cilantro.

Can you get cilantro there?

Swap the bell pepper for Serrano to make a starter kit for salsa.

Got cottage cheese? Both maters and pineapple are good on cottage cheese.

Man, if I was there, I�d park my truck out front and leave the windows down!

That�s another oldie.

Got cilantro, we call it coriander we got some real good cottage cheese too

I don�t like to cook my cilantro. I add it in after it�s all cooked, just before sealing it up.

Seems like a golden opportunity to have an epic cherry tomato battle.

Buy 2 pounds of salt and eat um!
