Ruth....what procedure do you use to freeze tomatoes? I used to go to a lot of trouble canning and freezing tomatoes, but learned to put whole tomatoes right from the vine .....don't even wash them...into a plastic shopping bag and freeze them.

When you're ready to use, simply take out every how many you need ( they'll be frozen individually...like a bag of rocks) and run under tap water. The peel with slip right off, then cut the core out. I then thaw in the microwave and use any way I would a canned tomato. Put in the blender to make juice if you want.

If you just barely thaw, you can salt and eat with the tomato having the consistency of a slushy (sort of ) but with the fresh garden taste.

I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A QUICKER, EASIER WAY. This works for me.
