Leftover Tomatoes?

New to this sub. Just this year I moved on from sous vide vinegar pickles/relish to canning recipes that need boiling water. I have a lot of leftover tomatoes from my garden, and they are not awesome, as they have been picked half-ripe and ripened in paper bags (I am in a climate where it is getting cold now). I have made tomato sauce a couple times - last time 7.5 pounds of random tomatoes made 1 quart of roasted tomato sauce after I quartered, cored, roasted, food-milled and cooked it down, and canned it in a boiling water bath for 40 minutes. It was a lot of work for only one quart of sauce regardless of how delicious it is.

I have a lot of tomatoes left, that are getting ripe in "ethylene chambers" (in paper bags in clear cambros). Any ideas for canning or preserving that are maybe a little more worth it for tomatoes? I have a big freezer, so any ideas that are more for freezing rather than canning, are welcome also.
