You can adjust seasonings to your liking - add garlic or salt, use other herbs. Skins, if you want to remove, will slip right off after roasting and cooling.
I then package into food saver bags and freeze (freeze before sucking air out - or just use freezer containers). They are so much better than anything canned in the store and we enjoy them throughout the rest of the year in chili, soups, goulash, etc. I have only 1 package left in the freezer from last year.
That sounds good too!
I'm jealous that you all have so many tomatoes right now. My plants are only 8 inches high. We had a cool, dry spring and all of our starts took their time coming up.
