INSTRUCTIONS

1. My favorite tomato thing to freeze is what Marian Morash (THE VICTORY
GARDEN COOKBOOK) calls Tomato Fondue or Tomato Coulis. I make it in big
batches and freeze in 1 pint portions and it brings just a delicious taste
of lovely fresh tomatoes all winter long. I use it for many things, but my
favorite use, other than for pastas, is as a light sauce for stuffed bell
peppers. Much better, and tastier than the heavier pasta-style sauces
usually used. It's also good on scrambled (or otherwise cooked) eggs, baked
potatoes, etc.
Chop enough fresh, ripe tomato pulp (skinned) to make three cups pulp.
Saute 2-3 Tbsp. minced onion in 2 Tbsp. butter. (Or use shallots.) Add some
minced garlic and then add tomatoes. Cook over medium-high heat for 4-5
minutes to evaporate the juices and thicken the sauce. Season with salt,
pepper, and herbs to taste, such as basil, oregano, thyme, etc. For
freezing, though, I leave the herbs out until sauce is thawed and reheated
for serving. Freeze in tightly sealed containers, filled up to 1-inch
expanding space.

A Message from our Provider:

“Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.”

When the law was written on tablets of stone, there was a significant weakness. The weakness of the Old Covenant was not in the law. The weakness of the Old Covenant was the people’s hearts. They couldn’t keep the law because they lacked two basic ingredients. Both of them interestingly were mentioned in the Old Testament when God used His prophets to speak while under the Old Covenant of the coming New Covenant. First, as God said through Jeremiah, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it” (Jer. 31:34). The writing of the law went from tablets of stone to tablets of human hearts (2 Cor. 3:3). And second, as God said through Ezekiel, “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances” (Eze. 36:27). We by far have greater power to obey the law with the fullness of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us as God says, “causing” us to obey. So there should be a radical difference between us and Israel. It’s not in the God we serve. It’s not in the desire to obey Him. It’s not in the faith of a Messiah to take away our sins. It’s not in a law that is given from God to be obeyed. It’s not even in a delight in that law. The difference is simply this. The Old Covenant is characterized by people who were stiff-necked and rebellious (Dt. 9:6; 10:16; 31:27), whereas the New Covenant is characterized by people who have soft hearts and the ability to obey.
