We use them primarily for making salsa and marinara sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For either salsa or sauce, I take the tomatoes out of the freezer and warm them in a pot. As they thaw, the skins begin to slide off. I then remove them for marinara sauce but leave them on for salsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The texture of the frozen tomatoes is not like fresh tomatoes. When they thaw, they are mushy and can\u2019t be sliced for sandwiches and hamburgers, for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the tomatoes can take up a lot of freezer space, but of course that only happens if the garden has been successful so who&#8217;s to complain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/frozen-garden-tomatoes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/frozen-garden-tomatoes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15963\" width=\"475\" height=\"356\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve got taking up space in the freezer so far this year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frozen garden tomatoes vs. canned from store<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why try to grow extra tomatoes when you can buy cans of tomatoes in the off season?
