EASY FREEZER-READY HOMEMADE STEWED TOMATOES

Easy Freezer-Ready Homemade Stewed Tomatoes image

Fresh peeled tomatoes may be used in place of canned, just slightly blanch in boiling water firstly for a couple minutes then peel and chop before using in this recipe, this is great to have handy in the freezer ready to use in any recipe, and much better than the canned stuff. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. Great to use in stews, casseroles, sauces or any recipe calling for stewed tomatoes, this is even good added to homemade pasta sauce. This is just a basic recipe, to this I like to add in a couple tablespoons tomato paste and a few drops of Tabasco sauce, just to kick it up a bit, all ingredient amounts may be adjusted to suit taste.

FREEZE TOMATOES WHOLE WITH THE SKIN. It doesn’t get any easier than this! You can actually pick tomatoes, wash them off and freeze them whole. Just put them in an air tight container and use them as you need them throughout the year.
FREEZE TOMATOES WITHOUT THE SKIN. Some people prefer to go ahead and remove the skin of the tomato before they are stored in the freezer for the winter.
FREEZE TOMATO HALVES, QUARTERS, OR DICED TOMATOES. If you have a little extra time, it is great to freeze tomato halves, quarters or diced tomatoes. Taking a little time now to prepare the tomatoes will pay off in the middle of winter.
FREEZE PUREED TOMATOES. Remove the stem, core and any bad spots from the tomato. Cut the tomato in large chunks and place in a food processor or blender.
USE FRESH TOMATOES TO MAKE SOUP AND THEN FREEZE. One of our favorite ways to freeze tomatoes is to mix them into our favorite soup recipes. Every year we will make batches of Creamy Tomato Soup, Chili and Vegetable Soup using the tomatoes from the garden.
