📝 Preparation Steps
1
Sort through your cherry tomatoes to select the ripe, plump, unblemished tomatoes for freezing.
2
Remove the stems from your cherry tomatoes by hand. Don’t cut them; it will rupture their skins and let the flavorful juices out.
3
Use a colander to wash your cherry tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Give the colander a shake and let the water drain.
4
If you don’t have a colander, soak the cherry tomatoes in water for a few minutes and rinse them thoroughly afterward.
5
Use paper towels or clean kitchen cloths to pat the cherry tomatoes dry. They must be completely dry before you freeze them.
6
Place the dry cherry tomatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
7
Flash-freeze the cherry tomatoes for ⏱️ 2 hours.
8
Transfer them to freezer-friendly bags and put them back in the freezer.
9
When you’re ready to use your frozen cherry tomatoes, use them from frozen or thaw them in a bowl in the refrigerator.
