Tomato Rescue

This morning I noticed the twenty pounds of tomatoes we got needed emergency rescue. I'm in a race against rot. I sliced off the bad spots. Luckily only one tomato needed a major rot-ectomy. I cut the remaining tomatoes into quarters saving a bunch for tomato sandwiches. Now the tomatoes are simmering in my slow cooker in leftover broccoli water. I covered the pot with a vented lid so moisture can escape. It's a hot and humid day today in New England.
