Freeze Tomatoes without Removing the Skin

When freezing whole or quartered tomatoes, you can wait to remove the skins when they are thawed after freezing.

Remove the stem core and leave the tomatoes whole or cut them into quarters. Place the tomatoes on a cookie sheet and freeze individually. Once they are frozen solid, place them in a sealable freezer bag and store in the freezer.
Be sure to label and date your freezer bag. It is best to use the tomatoes within one year.
When ready to use, remove as many tomatoes as needed and run water over them. The skins should peel off easily.
