My suggestion,
Plant a garden.  Put in more than 5 tomato plants.  Around August,
panic becuase you suddenly are being buried under pounds of fresh ripe
tomatoes.  Spend whole sundays canning tomatoes.
Hope that you find someway of using all that canned produce before the
next season (or just give it away, often my personal favorite).  But if
you can your own you can add as much or as little seasoning as you like.

Who still has way too much salsa, tomatoes, chillis, chutneys, jams,
etc in her canned goods area.
