Freezing Tomatoes?

I have some fresh tomatoes, I want to freeze them. Some I will have for later on sandwiches or to dice in salads. How do I do this without them getting soft?

If you freeze tomatoes, you can use them in soups and stews. You cannot use them as you would fresh.

tomatoes do not freeze well due to the high water content; they crystallize in the freezer and then fall apart and go soft.

The best way to preserve tomatoes for salad is to dehydrate them. This can be done in a dehydrator, on for 20 minutes in the oven at 120 or so degrees, or in the sun

How do you store them once dehydrated?

Frozen tomatoes cannot be sliced for sandwiches or salads when thawed. They are excellent additions to sauces, soups and stews.

Frozen fresh tomatoes are great for stews and sauces but maybe other uses also.

The government site for food preparation offers this information:

Preparation Select firm, ripe tomatoes with deep red color.

Raw 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.

Here are a couple of sites that offer lots of information on how to prepare and freeze fresh tomatoes:
