What to do with extra tomatoes?
- Thread starter pepper
- Start date
MOD
do you core and quarter them or just freeze?
I just rinse them off, bag and freeze. I bag them so they stay flat in the freezer bag. That way I can easily stack them in the freezer.
MOD
Do they become mushy when they thaw out? I'm going to do some over the next few days but am thinking I'll toss them in the blender since they will be used for soup, salsa, etc anyway and put them in ziplock bags, enough for a portion in each bag. But if they don't come out mushy I would keep some whole.
Yes they become mushy and watery when thawed out. The peel tends to stay in large pieces so it should be blended at some point if it bothers you.
Maybe a certain variery would be best for freezing but I don't know of any.
Never thought about blending them before freezing. You fit plenty more in less room.

When we freeze ours, we core and quarter. And we also lay the bags flat on a cookie sheet for stacking.
Our chest freezer is divided up with milk crates, some for vegetables, different meats, pre-made meals etc. Saves a lot of digging through random stuff.
