Have y'all ever tried freezin' tomatoes? What do you like to use them for?
Home made soups and spaghetti sauce.
Same here soups spaghetti and lasagna.
We quarter ours and remove the core. You get more in the bag and also can lay them flat!
We usually do this so we can can them at a later date if we don’t have time :)
@@emmaleeheise9998 My late mother would do that and freeze the quarters and then put them in a bag.
Tomato sandwiches!
Dear Paula, I hope you’re going to bring us along as you move into that beautiful home. Let us experience it with you. We would dearly love that😁👍❤️
Oh yes we would. Paula, I remember that bird bath you used for a wedding. What did you do, put ice and champagne in it? Something like that...so smart!
Yes
Why is Teresa correcting the queen? We knew what she meant lol
🙌
I've thrown out so very many tomatoes that I didn't use fast enough..and freezing them never crossed my mind...Thank you Paula Deen🥰👍
make salsa then freeze that.
@@rsoubiea EXCELLENT IDEA!!!
I'm so glad to learn this.. I don't like to can. Wondering if you could cut up and freeze?
I lived in NC for over three years and they have great farms for the people to get produce and fruit from. Plus they have a longer growing season. One year at Thanksgiving, people were still getting tomatoes and peppers out of their gardens.. for real. Thanks for sharing this with us. I've never heard of just being able to put them right in the freezer this way but I'm going to start doing it
frozen tomatoes are great for fresh smooth salsa in the winter. I love tomatoes on sandwiches,but frozen tomatoes are too mushy. So I buy the cardboard tasting tomatoes in the grocery store, Slice them, pour tomato juice over them and refrigerate over night. Bad becomes wonderful.
I always core mine before freezing. It seems easier than trying to defrost them and then core and skin them.
ETA: I also dry them well and freeze them on a tray first so they don't stick together in the bag and get icy.
Also get as much air out of the bag as you can.
Thanks for the tip on how to freeze tomatoes, Miss Paula. How exciting that you get to move home, i'm excited to see your new kitchen! Love and best dishes to you and Eddie and Theresa.
Oh my goodness Paula. Those ‘maters are beautiful!!
Very helpful!! Doing this right away. Thank you so much. Also freezing some sweet Walla Walla Onions. The shelves can be bare here & I want to be prepared.
I never knew you could freeze tomatoes this way. Great to know. Thanks Paula. Happy Tuesday
Am I the only one who sits with my coffee every morning saying to myself..."Come on Eddie...we are waiting." LOL!
Lol
Paula is normally the 1st in my list to read & that is before I crawl out of bed. My motto is: the day is a “gift” from God & so is Paula Dean!!!
That is really good to know! I always find that my tomatoes go to bad before I can get to them! Thank You
WOW! Compare those tomatoes to the UGLY, hot-house tomatoes!!
Pale punk, NO FLAVOR!
I refuse to purchase any tomatoes in a grocery store!! Garden tomatoes ONLY!!
So can I freeze them and then later make them into spaghetti sauce and can that?
Wow good to know thanks Paula!
I am fixin to make Paula's okra and tomato dish today. My okra is going gang-busters and so are the tomatoes.
Very exciting about the move!!!!!
Don't you just hate it when someone contradicts you? especially during filming.
My 89 year old Mom and I canned tomatoes last Friday. We did NOT pressure can them. We scalded tomatoes, peeled and cut them up in chunks into a big pot. Let them cook until they are soft and start to break down. The jars are washed in hot soapy water, rinsed and air dried. The lids and rings are washed, rinsed and the lids are put in a shallow pan and covered with boiling water keep on the stove to keep hot. The rings are dried and laid to the side. To the jars add a teaspoon of salt and fill to just below rim(where the jar starts to get smaller) of the hot tomatoes, leaving a space about 3/4 inch from top of jar. Carefully, remove a hot lid and put on jar then add the ring and tighten it down tight but not over tight. Set on heavy towels on the counter or where ever leaving room between jars for air to circulate and cool down to room temperature. After 15 to 20 minutes you'll hear a little popping sound. That when they are sealed. Once jars are cooled down store in dark cool place. Enjoy!!!
Yes I am SO glad you said all this^^. That is exactly how I do it, I do do the water bath, and they turn out just fine.
I thought I was about the only one that did this.🙂
Same way me and mother did it. Enjoy!
@@charitys.3862 We used to do the water bath too, but changed to this way it's faster and doesn't heat up the kitchen as hot as with water bath method.
Preserving fruit for future use!
Been freezing tomatoes for years..use for everything
Good to know ☺ I could listen to her talk all day 😊
Homemade crockpot spaghetti sauce! Going to try freezing your method of tomatoes. Always boil my tomatoes then taking skins off and then put in Freezer Ziploc bags to freeze.
Thanks for the great tip. I will definitely try this. 💖🤗
Thank you Miss Dean for what you continue to do and that's what you do best you show the rest of the world how to have a home cooked meal and be frugal at the same time I'm so glad that you will soon have your own place where you won't feel like everything is not at your disposal.
I never knew you could freeze tomatoes like this. I have always blanched and peeled mine and then cooked them before i froze them
Yes I agree she forgot a step i think
I have been doing it forever. I suggest that you core them first and dry them off
Yes Miss Paula! I put a few in the freezer the other day because I didn’t want them to spoil and I Didn’t have time to can. I am canning a batch today though, and I use them for macaroni and tomatoes the way my Nannie made, okra and tomatoes, old time breaded tomatoes, soups and stews. There is nothing like a homegrown tomato! Love you Paula. 🥰.
So glad you showed this to others, my son and I have been doing this for awhile, Talk about a good homemade soup with beef bones, um, um, good!!!
🤢
What an excellent idea/tip, Paula. I have been canning my entire life and I never knew that you could freeze tomatoes like that. If I find some really good tomatoes at the market I will buy extra and freeze them.
When I froze my tomatoes, I first froze them on a cookie sheet with parchment paper so the wouldn’t freeze together. Do yours freeze together?
i think my mom quarters the tomatoes first, freeze them on a baking sheet, then go back and put them into a freezer zip lock bag and put back into the freezer.
Wow!!!!! That’s great! Thank you Paula!
My tomatoes did very poorly this year, normally we get like 30 something qaurts and about 10 or so pints put up. This year I got about 8 quarts and 6 pints. But still grateful of what I have!! I'll freeze some in the future
Didn't think you could freeze tomatoes! I have always thought the best tomatoes came from the south. Can't wait to see the new house.
What a great idea........I would use them to make vegetable soup.
I always cut the core out before freezing them. 👍
Short on time, freezing works great! And just as versital as canned : )
Any chance frozen tomatoes can be used for ‘mater sandwiches, my favorite food? I didn’t think so…☹️
These were great tips to keep in mind when freezing tomatoes Paula.
I'm looking at a pile of ripe tomatoes as we speak! Lol. I'm gonna freeze a bag today! 👍
Can't wait for your first show in the new kitchen. How exciting. We all want the tour!!! ❤
Miss u baby...still beautiful and I always loved that voice...im sorry...keep cooking sweetness❤
Wow…thank you…never thought of this working…great for soups…
Brenda
Teresa, please ask Paula if she would show me how to make Roast Beef Hash. My Dad always made hash out his leftover roast beef and I know he had sage in it.
Is it okay to core before freezing tomatoes? And I’ve seen where people say to cut an “x” on the bottom, but I forgot why ☺️
You cut a surface x on the bottom, drop the tomatoes into boiling water for about 2 minutes and the skins come right off. If you want, as you remove the skin, you can drop the skinned tomatoes, which will be soft and juicy, into freezer bags, freeze them and later used them in a multitude of ways.
Drats Miss Paula, my hubby grows heirloom tomatoes and we had a very good crop this year. We gave them to neighbors family and friends and I have a basketful on my table. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT I have no room in my little old chest freezer . NO i take that back. I am going to put four of them in a quart size freezer bag and wiggle me some room out for them. Thank you for sharing this method with us. I look forward to that cold February evening when I have a little pot of something and cornbread and a big glass of cold sweet tea to wash it down. God bless you and every one.
Just curious about where do you live, I ask because the gardens are doing pretty bad around my area?
So glad you had success though!
Never thought about freezing ripped tomatoes. Thank you for the tip Paula. I too am looking forward to seeing your home. Good luck moving back in stay safe and God bless.❤️
Don’t know it was that easy. Thanks
AWESOME idea Paula! Thanks for the tip. Wish you had your own tv show again. You're the BEST. Love and best dishes to YOU.
Any chance you can share a fried green tomato recipe with us?
There's only $10,000 fried tomato recipes on the internet.

Could have use your pressure cooker, just wondering.
Thankyou so much for this info!
All I see in those tomatoes is tomatoes sandwiches YUM!! 🍅🍅🍅
Put then in a bowl or plate let thaw and the skins comes right off.
So excited to see the new (old) house.

Hush Theresa
You can also roast them and freeze
Wow Paula.."Don't bruise-em!!!
Hi Paula, thanks for this tip. We have been gardening for yrs. and always jared our tomatoes. That is alot of work and we hate to jar 4 or 5 of them. We make spaghetti sauce and chili out of ours.
This one just continues to SPIN it never would play for me 😢
What is the email address to send in a receipe?
It is questions@pauladeen.com! --The Deen team
You've never done okra and tomatoes for us. Will you?
Oh wow!! Love okra & tomatoes & corn!!! Serve it with just about any other dish!!!
Yes she has. Last year when she was doing the "Quarantine Cooking" videos. Look in Paula's video library.
Here is a link to when she prepared that dish! th-cam.com/video/18FP9wFItZg/w-d-xo.html ---The Deen team
Thanks Paula for sharing that tip about the Tomatoes. I can’t wait to see you all move into your new house. I hope you will video the move so we can share in the excitement with you, Love you all and your recipes!
Does Teresa have to be so with Paula? She doesn't come across as a very nice person.
Neither do you in your profile pic, you look like a smart ellic.
Can you remove just one or two?
😂 what a dumb question.
@@samyleigh3246 see you are a bully
@@charitys.3862 bawawawawa nope just telling the truth.
@@samyleigh3246 said that cause you said I was a bully.
❄❄❄🍅🍅🍅❓❕ Sounds like someone put tomatoes in the freezer! But seriously, do I have to?!
It's a request that's coming through Teresa.. is the correct way .
Teresa needs to quit talking back to Ms. Paula. She is legend!
It's a request that's coming through Teresa.. is the correct way .
why ???????
What do you mean why?????
Actually, high acid foods like tomatoes have to be pressure canned to be properly preserved. Water bath is not a safe way to can high acid foods like pickles and tomatoes.
I always thought tomato’s were one of the few veg that it is safe to water bath can because they are highly acidic! It’s veg like green beans that can never be canned in a water bath. Let’s see what Paula says.
Why are you even still there???
@@michaelbarry5575 fine...how are you? I always think of men sending messages like this...they are on the prowl. I don't like guys on the prowl because I'm not available.
@@michaelbarry5575 engaged to be married....not wanting to date.
@@morgancalvi6675 You're right Morgan. These are all the fake guys that try to pick up women on cooking and shopping sites. Puke
What are you talking about why are you even still there???????????
@@samyleigh3246 I know...I learned that the hard way on Paula's site a couple of times. I even ended up putting hockey tape over my computer's web cam (which they advise you to do).
