It's not uncommon to get Amish Paste tomatoes that are 12+ oz each, and tons of them. Only need a half dozen of them or so to make an entire batch of salsa. (My batches are 6-7 pints). That's how big they run, basically one tomato makes a pint jar of salsa.
I've seen seeds for Amish Paste! And yes, I DO can tomatoes. Usually I just purchase some cases from Sprouts and do it that way. I'll see if I can't get some of those seed packets from Baker's Creek- I need to fill out my herb beds and have one more order to make from them. Thanks for the heads-up.
