i had no idea you can freeze whole tomatoes. do you need to do anything special to them?
i chop them into roughly 1/2" pieces, and freeze them that way. goes great into spaghetti sauces, etc. I have contemplated slicing them for ratatouille and freezing them like that too. Will prob do that this year. How is the texture after you freeze and thaw them whole?
I think its best to freeze them whole. This way the skin protects from freezer burn and helps keep the flavor. When you are ready to use them simply soak them in some warm water or just put them right into your soup and the skin will fall off. You can leave the skin in and eat it or compost it :)
