Are you looking for sandwich tomatoes or to use later for salsas or sauce? No difference. Here's what you can do. Freeze 'em fresh. If you blanch them, they'll most likely turn to mush. Pick em and when their nice and ripe, gice them a soft washing, and disregard any that aren't perfect(to be safe, but use your judgment). freeze them individually or a few(I like to do them separate). When you want the taste of a better than store bought, tomato in the middle of winter, just take them out, and while still frozen, pour the scalding water on it, and the skin will peal nicely, then use as fresh. If you want them for salads or sandwiches, there is an art to the timing of the slice and eat time, but that's all part of it. Hope this helps. p.s. careful getting me started on tomatoes, we been eatin them all sorts of ways the last two weeks, and they seem to get mixed into everything this part of the year.
