Will that still work if the tomatoes are not organic?

Mine aren't and that works for them. I pick the tomatoes, wash and dry
them, put them into vacuum bags, vacuum seal, and stick in the freezer
with the date written on them. Take them out, put in the fridge, let
thaw, the skins slip off easily and you can drain the juice from the
pulp if you wish.

I know you were tongue-in-cheek and very firmly there Ross. Y'all reckon
the foodbanter folks are now posting through gmail in order to get
around filters? Sure sounds like it.
