new england can feed itself

I ordered 20 pounds' worth of tomatoes and peppers for my first adventure in home canning. My very favorite food is a tomato in any form, but the summer here is so brief and the winter tomatoes so sad. I also have marinara sauce with everything (Scarpetta from Somerville MA makes my favorite), so I figure it makes sense. Sort of.

So, next weekend, I'll be doing a pretty standard marinara sauce, as well as this tomato jam from Mark Bittman. Any other suggestions, my DIY-ing Voxians?

Oooh, yum! Maybe some sundried tomatoes? One cuisine that Boston does right is Italian... so you could pair the fresh tomatoes (while they last) with some mozzarella and charcuterie. The North End has some incredible meat shops.

I usually go to Lionette's, since it's close to my hood - the owner there is full of good ideas and a salty attitude, which I like. I'm thinking some sort of combination between the oven/sundried tomatoes? Since I can't put anything plant-related outside without the birds and rodents getting to it in 5 minutes.
