Preserving Heirloom Tomatoes: Freezing Techniques

Prepare: Tomatoes can be frozen whole, cut in slices or dice, diced into cubes or halves. To freeze our tomatoes without their skins on, simply dip them into boiling water for one minute until their skins split open before peeling away carefully from the fruit.

To preserve fresh frozen flavors for as long as possible, it’s best to store foods in freezer-grade materials and maintain an ambient temperature below zero degrees Fahrenheit in your freezer. Frozen vegetables should ideally be consumed within eight months for optimal flavor and quality preservation.
