Freeze a sauce base:  Peel and seed tomatoes, then toss them into a
soup pot and cook them until just slightly wilted, about 4 minutes.
Pack into freezer containers, cover and freeze.   To use, defrost in
the refrigerator overnight, then carry on to make spaghetti sauce,
barbecue sauce or whatever suits your mood.
