Ways to Use Up Those Garden Tomatoes: Tomato Bouillon, Baked Stuffed Tomatoes, & Green Tomato Relish


Now that the gardens and farmer's markets have an abundance of tomatoes, it is time to take advantage of this wonderful vegetable. Here are three recipes you might want to try. Tomato Bouillon, Baked Stuffed Tomatoes, and Green Tomato Relish are three very different ways to use tomatoes. The bouillon recipe uses tomato juice. You can easily make your own juice by putting ripe tomatoes in a heavy pot on the stove over low heat and cooking them down. Add a small amount of water if necessary. Strain the juice to remove seeds and peels.

TOMATO BOUILLON

1 3/4 cups water

1 1/2 cups tomato juice

2 tsp beef-flavored bouillon granules

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/8 tsp hot sauce

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan, stirring until bouillon granules are dissolved. Cover saucepan and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Serve hot.
