This is about 2/3 of the 10 lbs of tomatoes purchased from Bates Beach Farms. The first 1/3 was done yesterday. They were sorted into batches by ripeness. As you can see the back bowl is redder than the front.

It only takes 15 minutes or so to roast them, but it is hot work. The out door temp was about 26oC at the time, which is a hot day for us.

Next step is to remove the skin, from the still hot tomatoes.

Ta-Da! Freezing fire roasted tomatoes! This is all the tomatoes that were in the bowl at the start, and is about 2/3s of the yield from that bowl.
