Freezing is the easiest and safest way to preserve tomatoes from your garden or the farmers market. Freezing locks in summer fresh flavor and nutrients so you can enjoy delicious tomatoes in soups and sauces all winter long. Vine ripened tomatoes taste best fresh or frozen. If you didnât grow your own tomatoes, pay a visit to your local farmers market for a wide selection of ripe tomatoes. Pick tomatoes that are fully colored and tender but not mushy or soft. Clean the tomatoes by rinsing them individually under a stream of running water.
Some varieties of fruits and vegetables freeze better than others. If you are not sure how well a fruit or vegetable will freeze, test it first by freezing three or four packages. Then sample the food after freezing. This only shows the effect of freezing, however, not the effect of storage. As a rule, all vegetables that need to be cooked freeze well. Vegetables such as cucumbers, lettuce, radishes and tomatoes lose their crispness when frozen and become limp. Most fruits can be frozen successfully. Good containers keep frozen foods from drying out and preserve food value, color, flavor and texture.
