BDN features UMaine Extension video on freezing tomatoes
The Bangor Daily News featured a University of Maine Cooperative Extension video in the post, “You don’t have to can all your tomatoes. Here’s how to just freeze them whole.” The video features Kathy Savoie, a UMaine Extension educator, who demonstrates the steps of washing, hulling, labeling and freezing the vegetable. “It is possible to quickly freeze raw tomatoes without blanching them first,” Savoie said. The frozen tomatoes can be used in soups, stews, chilis and casseroles without thawing before adding to the recipe, according to the article.
