Has anyone ever put their tomatoes in the freezer for storage?

My garden is going insane right now. I have waaaaaay to many tomatoes. I looked it up. I thought canning them or drying them was the only option. But apparently freezing them is a normal thing to do. It feels weird to me for some reason...
Has anyone ever done that? Freeze a whole tomato?

Nope. I make sauce and can it, and dry some, but never freeze them.
I always give the extra to friends when I have too many tomatoes.

Can 'em faggot.
I'd find it hard to believe a long time poster like you doesn't have the means to can food.

Yeah about that. I don't want to can them. Have you considered that option?

Yup. I just didn't think you were that big of a chode.
But like another poster said, when you freeze them and they thaw they turn into a puree. It's fucking gross.
Do it right and can them.

You shouldn't ever freeze your fresh tomatoes. Not even refrigerate them.
They lose so much flavor once they are cooled down that much.
It's especially a shame to do that if you grew them yourself. If you just had some walmart tomatoes, I'd say go for it.
Listen to the people, Patlal.
Can them. Only thing you can really do to preserve them.
Or you could cook them down to a sauce and freeze that. Probably would be good for a few months, if not longer.

Chop 'em up, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle some fresh basil, salt and pepper.

This.
Your tomatoes would be mush after freezing and thawing, and the flavor dulled. If that's not something you're worried about then sure, freeze em.

I roast then freeze tomatoes and peppers all the time and haven't noticed much a difference
-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

That's because you haven't tried to notice the difference. If you try, you can get confirmation bias and taste the difference night-and-day. Stop being lazy and notice a difference.

Yeah, ones that don't give a damn about their customers or take pride in their food. Go to a shitty restaurant and you'll get shitty tomatoes.
