What are you doing with your tomato harvest? [View all]

For those with too many tomatoes, what do you do with them all?

I over-planted and now have "hundreds" of tomatoes! I have made sauce, stewed, and soup so far. I have given away dozens of the best looking ones. I don't can, just freeze them.

My Brandywines are gigantic this year! What is the best use for those? I have been putting them in soup but they have so many seeds.

Read an article yesterday that said the seeds contain the flavor, don't discard them.
