Summer Tomatoes

Our favorite way to use our home-grown tomatoes: Boil a big pot of water. When boiling, add 10-12 tomatoes. Boil for about 1 minute. Immerse in cold water. Peel, core and chop tomatoes. Put in a 1/2 gallon glass jar. Add: 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion diced or could use shallots or green onions Big bunch of fresh basil, chopped 3/4 - 1 cup olive oil 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, or mix of vinegars Fresh parsley 3 T. Sugar Salt and Pepper Put lid on jar and shake til well blended. Put in sun for several hours. Serve with french bread or as a topping on pasta with parmesan cheese.

One of THE best recipes ever! Do you have to live in St. George for it to cook outside? Do you think it would work in Columbus?
