There are a lot of tomato preserve recipes posted here.

Here is a green tomato recipe I was going to make, but my late blight made for no green tomatoes

Green Tomato Chutney

This sweet, tangy chutney is a fine topping for burgers, fish tacos, rice and beans, or grilled chicken. Chopping ingredients in the food processor makes prep time go faster.

2 cups chopped green tomato (about 3 medium)
1 cup chopped Granny Smith apple
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalape�o pepper, seeded and chopped

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Cool; pour into airtight containers.
Note: Refrigerate Green Tomato Chutney in airtight containers up to two months.

For tomato sauce you have to skin and seed the tomatoes and then simmer the heck out of them until they are thick as spaghetti sauce. You can add some salt, not too much, pepper and herbs but I leave out the garlic for now. Ladel into clean jars, don't have to sterlize, and process for 35 minutes, from the time they boil. I made this for many years with sauce I sent through my tomato press, or a food mill. Make sure all the skins are gone.
Salsa isn't so easy to can I found out. Unless you put in lots of vinegar you have to use a pressure canner. But you can freeze your favorite salsa. Also try drying. I dry cherry tomatoes, halved, on racks in a low oven or dehydrator. Good in pastas, pizza.
Otherwise just google search for more ideas.
