How many pounds of tomatoes are in 3 quarts?
Hoping to make this tonight. Can anyone tell me roughly how many pounds of tomatoes this requires? I’m assuming a mix of cocktail tomatoes and large is ok since they’re all going in the blender anyway? Thank you in advance.

When I have questions like this, I use a nutrition data base which also gives 3 or 4 common sizes of most things - 1 common shopping or selling size, 1 oz, 100g, 1 cup.
Then I figure from a known quantity to what I want to answer.
In this case, 1 cup of chopped tomatoes is 158g.
There are 4 cups in a quart, so 12 cups, so that makes 1896 grams
Divide 1896 by 454 (grams per lb) and you get 4.17 lb
Sounds fussy, especially if you're not familiar with metric, but gets easy in a short while.
