Here's the whole process. Cut up, heat, roughblend tomatoes, crockpot on low (mine took 18hours) add citric acid ala Ball book, blend smooth, bring to boil (messy-use tall pot) and can. No, I don't sieve out seeds or skin, as I use my Vitamix and I want all the fiber and flavonoids.

Sundrying the big squash and cherry tomatoes, saucing the paste toms and any others we don't eat. It's so hot, I can only pick for an hour at a time.
