Re: Tomato freezing for storage

I hope that I am beyond reach of the rolling pin but your wife is only
partly correct. Thawed frozen tomatoes do result in mush, but very tasty
mush when used in spaghetti sauce. Freezing whole is the quick and easy
way to save surplus tomatoes for use in cooking. ( If the rolling pin
don't get me the ruler will. This is not really a "gardening" subject.)
