We FINALLY got around to harvesting our tomatoes from our raised bed garden. We planted Early Girl and Black Price heirlooms and got quite a load! This last batch was picked just before our first frost, so I had to do something with them FAST. Since I haven't figured out canning yet, I decided to dice them and freeze them for winter.
Freezer Tomatoes
18-20 Ripe Tomatoes
Boiling Water
Qt Freezer Bags

| 1. Wash your tomatoes. |
 |
| 2. Bring a pot of water to a boil and carefully add your tomatoes. |
 |
| In less then 1 minute, start removing the tomatoes that have split. |
 |
| Place in a bowl to cool. |
 |
| Use a bowl to help your baggie "stand" up. |
 |
| Now the skin will just all off! Peel and dice the tomatoes. |
 |
| Place in Qt ziploc bags and label. Freeze! They have a shelf life of about 8 months.
Enjoy the fruits of your labor!!
