We just put washed and dried fresh tomatoes directly into freezer bags then into the freezer. They won’t stick together if they are dry, although, if they do, just pull them apart when you thaw them for cooking. Run hot water over them for a minute or so and the skins come right off. This uses a fraction of the time and energy needed for canning. But, you do need a freezer, so, whatever works best for you.

What I like to do, is roast my tomatoes with peppers (i use seconds), and spices, dribble oil on them, and roast it in the oven, then freeze them together; this is great for sauces, stews, etc., in the winter time.

In reply to Hollie Lamkin.

You can just cut the scab or bruise off before freezing them.

What happens when you don’t have a blemish free tomato? I have a ton, but they all have some type of scab or bruise. They are perfect when I cut into them. What happens when they are frozen?
