No canning for me -- too complicated! Your spaghetti sauces sound so

pretty! That is good to know that the paler ones are less acidic, I can't

eat many raw tomatoes because of the acid (canker sores). I'm really tempted

to try the little yellow pear ones, they're so cute, and low acid!

 

My main goal is to freeze whole (skinned) tomatoes for soup and chili and

stuff. Do pretty much all tomatoes freeze well?
