Hello all!
I have many things to say this year as I have TONS of cherry tomatoes in BELLEVUE WA.
For the fruit fly person that gave up… I finally had it with FRUIT flys. I did a fund raiser this year to buy an ipad for a little boy with autism. I baked 52 blackberry pies ( yes by myself ) and made enough to buy him an ipad and donate the rest to FEAT of washington. In the process of this I had a battle with the fruit flys of the world. I WON! I got an idea to go get traps and was not happy with the money they cost… so I made my own. I bought a product called “stick-em” mouse glue traps. I got a canning jar put some red wine in it and two cherry tomatoes that I cut open. I took the sticky traps and rubbed them on the top of the jar. ( DO NOT TOUCH THE STUFF>>> IT is hard to get off – olive oil works) OMG…. I caught so many fruit flys that I no longer am going crazy!!!!
I decided to start planting tomatoes this year in my house by seed in February. I got so very tired of my seedlings that I put them outside a bit early. I did not think I would get many cherry tomatoes… I have SOOO many now my neighbors avoid me. The tomato plants took over my yard! I can send picks if you want to see them!
I guess I have a green thumb!!!!!!
I came to this site to find out how to freeze cherry tomatoes… as I have hundreds!!!!
Happiness and success to you all!!

Hi Andrea, I assume freezer bags would work fine, but when the tomatoes “unfreeze” they are kind of squishy, so a jar keeps them tidy–you can easily pop a few out to toss on a salad, or put a jar in the fridge to use over a few days.

Will freezer bags work the same?

I found your website in the middle of summer when I was pleasantly inendated with a variety of cherry tomatoes. Not wanting to just give these little babies away since I wanted to have some during the winter months, I wondered if there was a way to preserve them without the hassel of canning. This preparation has been such a find!! I was wondering if they were going to make it into the freezer. They are so very flavorful. Thank you for sharing.

Great idea! I have given up on growing regular tomatoes as fruit fly is so bad in my area – so I only grow cherry tomatoes . I’ll definitely try this recipe this season.
