Compare whether domestic flavorful tomatoes to those sold in supermarkets? It is clear that the answer is obvious - of course not. But what do you do in the winter, when so want to go back in the summer and eat favorite tomatoes?!
Yes, you can get out of the cellar a jar of conservation and be content with pickled tomatoes from there, but you must admit, sometimes you want it fresh. And finally, I found a way out of this situation, and now the family pet tomatoes from your own garden year round. This method helps me to keep the vegetables in their original form, and with a wonderful taste, moreover, store them in the freezer can be right up next spring.
Most importantly, this method does not require any additional equipment, we need only fresh tomatoes and conventional transparent bags. I stack the tomatoes in bags in a row to get a flat "bricks".
Usually one portion takes me 10 - 15 small tomatoes - they are convenient to defrost and then, as a rule, they do not lie around for a long time. Further, I release all the air from the package to get something like a vacuum package.
In order to release the air as much as possible, I use conventional tubes for cocktails - one side of the tube must be inserted into the bag and suck air through the other residue. Now our billet ready for storage and can send it in the freezer. Once the tomatoes freeze, I put tomato "building blocks" of a pile, one on top of another - so they take up much less space.
What are the tomatoes are suitable for this method? Yes, in principle all, just a small variety store certainly convenient. I usually use plum varieties and cherry tomatoes. By the way, a little thawed tomatoes is very convenient to cut thin slices, for example, pizza - one does not follow the juice, and they are not deformed. But if you unfreeze the tomatoes completely, there will be no problems with removing the skin - it moves very easily.
In general, be sure to try a simple way to freeze tomatoes, you can use it to save their crops for the whole year and nourish the body with vitamins in the winter cold!
