Instructions
Freezing Tomato Sauce
- Wash tomatoes and remove stems if needed.
- Process tomatoes into a sauce. You can do this using a food mill or blender or just blanch to remove peels before cooking down the tomatoes into a sauce.
- If desired, strain off excess liquid or reduce by cooking for a thicker sauce. (Optional.)
- Transfer finished tomato sauce into freezer containers and freeze.
Notes
Container Options Include:
Freezer Bags – my preference!
Rigid freezer containers – plastic with secure fitting lids
Glass jars – not really recommended… but possible. Using straight-sided, wide-mouth jars will have a lower risk of breaking.
