My wonderful neighbor has been giving me fresh tomatoes from his garden. He came over yesterday and gave me seven large tomatoes; so I thought I would make a small pot of stewed tomatoes that I haven't made in years. So I just put things together as I remembered and it turned out wonderful. I'm on my second batch today after he came over again with more tomatoes. I looked it up and stewed tomatoes can be frozen in containers with clear wrap layed on top of the tomatoes and then put the lid on the container. This keeps air from discoloring the top of the tomatoes. So far it's working. Enjoy!!
