I save my tomatoes (kind of a small Roma which ripens quickly) by freezing them. Then end of summer I put them in the blender and simmer them down to a rather thick consistancy and freeze them in 1 cup portions....like big red ice cubes. In the winter I pull them out and make up a quick sauce for pasta, pizza, add it to soups....whatever. When they come out of the freezer they are not seasoned at all...pure tomato puree!!!!
