I just had two tomato sandwiches for lunch Carol. After you try it, share it with your friends, they'll love you for it.
This should become common knowledge just like wrapping the stem end of your bananas with plastic wrap to make them last a week longer.
Also, if you bought a tomato because you have to have a tomato to use tonight, give it the hot water bath, but leave it in the water for an hour instead of 5 minutes. Not as good as the normal routine but a definite improvement.
