How to Freeze Tomatoes for the Winter: Several Options
Housewives often freeze tomatoes for the winter, although this is not always convenient.
What to do with the vegetables later, let each housewife decide for herself, but we will tell you how best to prepare vegetables to preserve their taste and color.
How to Freeze Tomatoes
1. The best variety for this type of preparation is "Bull's Heart" and similar ones. They retain their shape better than others.
2. You can freeze tomatoes whole, and many cooks peel the fruit beforehand. Freeze the vegetables on a board covered with parchment, placing the vegetables so that there is at least 2 cm between them. Later, they can be put in a bag.
3. Another interesting option is freezing in rings and half rings. To do this, wash the tomatoes, cut them, put them on a tray covered with parchment, put them away until completely frozen and put them in bags when ready.
This is a great option for making pizza, soups, omelettes and so on.
4. However, the most practical method of freezing is puree. Vegetables are peeled, chopped with a blender or minced and poured into molds.
This option is ideal for preparing sauces, sautés, soups and other dishes with tomatoes.
