Tomatoes - Freeze em Now. Use em Later
/If you are feeling overwhelmed by your summer tomato harvest and you can’t make Aunt Gussey’s salsa fast enough try freezing those tomatoes. You can use them for salsa, Rotel, stews, etc. later.
1. Wash and core. Cut out bad spots.

2. Lay out single layer on cookie sheet.
3. Freeze until firm.
4. Vacuum seal.
5. Weigh. Mark with date and weight.
I usually freeze around two pounds (about six medium tomatoes) per bag. No need to remove skin by blanching. Skins will easily come off when thawed.
