For this merit badge I have learned to freeze tomatoes a better way. Usually I blanch them put them in an ice badge, peel then freeze tomatoes for soups and stews BUT I like this way….,simply put tomatoes in a ziplock bad and freeze. When you need a tomato for soups or other dish, put them out on a plate and thaw. This will make the tomato really easy to peel Cook and eat I just thought I would share Tina

Tina, thank you for sharing! I have always peeled my tomatoes first. I will have to give this one a try.

Krista Yes. Try freezing the tomatoes and then letting them thaw. It really is a lot easier Tina
