This was given to me by a cousin who has since done away with bottling tomatoes completely. Pico de gallo in February anyone?
Boil pot of water. Turn off.
Stick in as many tomatoes as you can but still make sure they're all covered by water.
When the skin cracks, pull them out and place them in a sink or bowl of super cold water.
Core and skin.
Stick in another bowl.
Chop in half or quarter
Place in quart size freezer bags and then put three in one gallon-sized bag.
Freeze
When you want to thaw them, place in a colander and let them drain as they thaw.
