Frozen Garden Tomatoes for Winter Soups and Sauces
Recipe: #308
October 07, 2011
"This is absolutely the easiest way to preserve all those tomatoes from your garden. You don't even need to peel them before freezing. Family friends in Northern Ontario always preserved their tomatoes this way. I rediscovered the method in Chatelaine Food Express Quickies. The servings depend on how many tomatoes you're freezing. Preparation time also depends on how many tomatoes you intend on freezing."
Original is 1-20 serving
