Wash tomatoes and cut out small core. Cut in quarters. No need to peel. When tomatoes are thawed out, the peelings just slide off easily. Put in freezer bags, but only enough in each bag that you plan to use in any one recipe. Store in freezer until ready to use. When unthawed, skins come off easily.

Use tomatoes in any dish that calls for tomatoes, except fresh salad.

Below is an old country recipe for Scalloped Tomatoes. Enjoy.
