Freezing And Preserving Recipes
Freeze Fresh Tomatoes
Want a no-hassle way to preserve a pile of tomatoes—without canning, peeling, or blanching them? This is my favorite method for saving those ripe summer tomatoes well into winter, and it’s the quickest and easiest to pull off, too.
Ingreadient
- Fully ripe, whole tomatoes
Direction
- Destem, wash, and dry your tomatoes whole, then spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the tomatoes are frozen all the way through. This may take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on size.
- Once the tomatoes are rock hard, transfer them to a freeze-proof container or bag and put them back in the freezer.
- When you need fresh tomatoes in the middle of winter for your soups and stews, pull out as many as you need to thaw and return the rest to the freezer.
