I had fresh tomatoes until Thanksgiving the time that I tried it.

Diana, we used to do that when I was growing up. It worked well!!! Great way to extend the tomato season and same money not having to buy tomatoes out of season. With Mexico so close, our season is longer, but they do get more expensive in the winter time.
