How To Preserve Cherry Tomatoes | No Blanching

Freezing those cherry tomatoes that are overflowing in your garden is a great way to preserve them. Cherry tomatoes are so small that it really makes little sense to peel them. Instead, you can simply freeze them whole just as they are. This is a really fast process that does not require blanching and freezing them whole helps to retain the nutrients that are found in the skins.
Just wash, pull off the stem, and flash freeze them on a baking sheet. Once they are frozen, place them in a freezer safe bag, making sure to squeeze as much air out of the bags as possible.
When you are ready to use them just pull them out of the freezer and add them to your recipe. You can freeze tomatoes for up to a year at a time and enjoy them anytime you want.

Thanks so much I am so glad I could freeze my crops and not have to cook everything. I could enjoy in the winter to add to dishes and I know where they came from.

I am glad I found this video! I am tired of canning. I wish, you would show how they look after being in the freezer for a few months and how you use them after taking it from freezer. Thank you!

[@afropeankitchen]

Great suggestion! I am in the process of preserving the latest tomato harvest from the garden. Will make a video in a few months about using them.

You can't use these in a salad after they have been frozen right?

[@afropeankitchen]

We've not tried that.
