Having nearly completely run out of jars and freezer space, decided to try the one thing I NEVER do: Freeze an actual vegetable instead of making something out of and freezing that.
Google says tomatoes can simply be frozen whole. No nothing' needed beforehand. So, I just removed the green stem (but didn't cut in to remove the scabby bit), gave them a quick soapy wash in the sink, put them on the counter to dry, then put them on a plate in the freezer. Once frozen, into a bag they went, and sucked out the excess air.
Soooooo easy, and so nice to take a break from ALL. THE. COOKING. that I've been doing in recent months.
Should be easy peasy to later take them out and use them for new batches of minestrone, lentil tomato soup, bolognese, etc., sometime over the winter.
