How to Freeze Tomatoes
If you have a bounty of ripe tomatoes and you're not going to use them all, give them a rinse, let them dry, remove their stems, and freeze them in a freezer-proof container or bag. It's as easy as that! Once you're ready to eat them, just pop the frozen tomatoes in a bowl of tepid water. After a few minutes in the water, you'll be able to peel off the skins easily. When it comes to frozen tomatoes, you'll want to reserve them for cooked dishes like a tomato-based pasta sauce. Wait until summer for dishes like a Caprese salad or an open-faced sandwich, which will taste better when prepared with fresh tomatoes.
