We cut off the permanent marker then ran this tomato and the others through the expeller press / sauce maker.

I ran the little 8.22’s first. I can use the seeds someday perhaps. I picked the seeds out of the 5.04 by hand which really was not much work. Those seeds are already dry. But here the goal was to make soup. Since the 3.47’s went in after the 8.22’s they got contaminated with 8.22’s ... oh well. There are limits to how much perfect seed saving I can do.

This would have been a great tool for turning all the split cherry tomatoes into pizza sauce. Other than that it’s not a necessary tool the giant tomatoes don’t have excessive skins or seeds so they could be processed easier by hand. The press made a huge family sized pot of soup in a reasonable amount of time but it’s not necessary.
