Last year I purchased large quantities of tomatoes from one of our friend's local organic farms. Their tomatoes were delicious and had beautiful color. I decided to take an afternoon to freeze the tomatoes, however something didn't work because a month later when I went to get some diced tomatoes out of the freezer they had a white mold growing on them. So into the trash they went.
This year I was bound and determined to freeze tomatoes and have them work so I can add them to soups and chili's this fall/winter. After searching on Pinterest and reading through several different methods this one sounded the easiest since there was no pre-boiling or removing of skins. It also came from a huge canning website - so hoping it will work for us.
Yesterday I gathered a group of my tomatoes out of my garden and decided to give this new method a try!
Step 1: Gather your tomatoes, a cutting board, good knife, food processor, and muffin tins. |
Step 2: Remove the core of the tomatoes and dice them up! Remove as many of the seeds as possible! |
Don't they look delicious! |
Step 3: Add tomatoes in small groups to your food processor and puree to desired texture. I like a few chunks of tomatoes in mine. |
Yum! - Preparing for puree! |
