Place your whole tomatoes in a freezer bag. You don't need to boil or peel them first.

Keep frozen for up to 6 months.

Thaw whole tomatoes for 30 minutes at room temperature.

There is a lot of different opinions about how to freeze fresh, raw tomatoes but, in actuality you can freeze them in any shape or size you wish.

• The only real thing that has to be done to fresh tomatoes before freezing is to wash and dry them.
• Whatever style you want to cut, dice, peel is entirely up to you and what/how you plan to use them later on.
• Just be sure to freeze them in sealable freezer style baggies or containers.
• Here is a really good site that has a lot of information about freezing tomatoes.
