Re: Tomato freezing for storage

I've also tried freezing whole tomatoes.  It's quick and easy but takes up more
freezer space than I can afford.  Yeah, they thaw mushy, but then we sauce them
anyway so it's not really a problem.

This year we decided to try something different.  We blenderized them then put
them in a large sauce pot and rendered them down some, and then put 4 cups each
of the cooled sauce into medium sized ziplock bags, layed flat in the freezer.
Easy, takes way less space and gives you a quick to use product at the end.  The
frozen sauce slips out of the bag nicely and we just saw off as much as we want
with a serrated bread knife.

My favourite tomato preservation technique though is drying them.  Even better
storage in that they take yet less room, require no electicity (once processed),
are versitile and most delicious.  My four year old daughter considers them a
treat, as do I. ;-)
