Charley, no chunky salsa?
I haven't tried it on tomatoes other than canned SM's. I still have lots of tomatoes to process for seeds, we may have gotten our first frost/freeze at about 7:00am, I already picked about 4 or 5 trays/buckets worth & brought most inside before today, and I left the house this morning about 7:30am and the cat litter buckets' lids had water on them, none froze or it wasn't long enough at 32F to visually see a freeze.
I had extra tomatoes in/on those buckets in the driveway and am thinking of taking some of those tomatoes and trying to germinate ~20 of them, the typical way, and maybe another 20 after run thru a blender, ANY blender. I would save time if I found somebody that actually did it before me! I don't know if there's a greater chance they'd be mangled by a stick blender versus a normal blender or even a food processor for a pulse or two...
I find it amazing that the blades don't hit tomatillo seeds...or at least they don't affect things.
