Picked zucchini and tomatoes for my freezer "concoction" I make every year.
Ingredients:
Tomatoes
Zucchini
Onions
Chop the onions and zucchini in food processor on the large grater.
Hand chop the tomatoes in about 1" pieces saving all the juice and seeds.
Mix and cook the vegetables until tender and seal in Ziplock bags. Freeze.
***I lay a bag in shallow containers like 8" x 8" baking dishes. Fill the bag as it lies in the dish. Press the air out, seal and lift bag to the counter. Release just a wee bit of a corner and adjust so the bag is now a "filled flat bag". Freeze on cookie sheets or anything level.
I don't add any spices because that lets me use it for various dishes through out the year.
Ideas: in soups, stews, casseroles, etc. I've even used it for meatloaf after draining some of the juice off. These freeze bags keep the mixture great for as long as I have product.
Update: 7PM and I have 88 ounces of wonderful veggies ready to go in the freezer - I'll take a pic and post it but too tired now - I hate getting old:)
BTW, I put in jars to give away but for ourselves, I freeze in Ziplocks.

Did you grow these, Jean? We had few tomatoes this year due to all the rain. We just planted a new row this weekend for fall tomatoes. We can still get them to grow here through November! This sounds good! My friend in Virginia is putting up peaches today for pies, and has already made three for them right now. Makes me feel guilty. We just got a new neighbor and I should bring them a goody! Take care, Annie
Yes, Annie, we have tomatoes but my zucchini is only in bloom now - too late as it's getting cool here. I harvested 4 zuc!Are you rural or in the city? We are on .28 acre at 1875' elevation and about 20 minutes from the city of 100,000.
We had the vegs over rice the night I made it - yum!
