Is there a proper way of freezing tomatoes ??

Answer 1

Tomatoes are better canned than frozen.

Answer 2

Select firm, ripe tomatoes with deep red color. Sort the tomatoes, discarding any that are spoiled. Wash them in clean water. Dry them by blotting with a clean cloth or paper towels.

Tomatoes may be frozen whole, sliced, chopped, or puréed. Additionally, you can freeze them raw or cooked, as juice or sauce, or prepared in the recipe of your choice. Thawed raw tomatoes may be used in any cooked-tomato recipe. Do not try to substitute them for fresh tomatoes, however, since freezing causes their texture to become mushy. Tomatoes should be seasoned just before serving rather than before freezing; freezing may either strengthen or weaken seasonings such as garlic, onion, and herbs.

Raw, peeled – Wash and dip in boiling water for 30 seconds to loosen skins. Core and peel. Freeze whole or in pieces. Pack into containers, leaving l-inch headspace. Seal and freeze. Use only for cooking or seasoning as tomatoes will not be solid when thawed.

Freezing whole tomatoes with peels
Prepare tomatoes as described above. Cut away the stem scar. Place the tomatoes on cookie sheets and freeze. Tomatoes do not need to be blanched before freezing. Once frozen, transfer the tomatoes from the cookie sheets into freezer bags or other containers. Seal tightly. To use the frozen tomatoes, remove them from the freezer a few at a time or all at once. To peel, just run a frozen tomato under warm water in the kitchen sink. Its skin will slip off easily.

Answer 3

I've frozen whole tomatoes before, and they turn mushy, and the skins seem to become tougher. Coring and peeling the mushy thawed tomatoes was a hassle. My preferred method of processing tomatoes for the freezer is to core them and then liquefy them in the Vitamix, which completely pulverizes the skin and seeds. Frozen tomato puree is a great soup base.

Answer 4

You can freeze tomatoes whole, just pop em in a freezer bag. I then take out one or two and cut up for chili or stew, or whatever. They are a bit mushy, but are good. Cut them frozen.
