- Blanch. Drop tomatoes into boiling water for 60-90 seconds and, using a slotted spoon, transfer immediately into a bowl of ice water to cool. Skin will slip easily from the flesh.
- Prepare tomatoes. Remove stems and core tomatoes. Work over a shallow dish to retain juices.
- Transfer into storage bags. Using a ladle or measuring cup, fill pint or quart sized ziploc bags.
- Seal bags. Make sure to push as much air as possible when sealing to avoid freezer burn.
- Into the freezer. Try to store flat. The shape in which they freeze is the shape you’re stuck with until it’s time to thaw.
