Step by step cooking frozen tomatoes with pizza rings, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the tomatoes with cold water, dry with a paper towel and cut into rings about 5 mm thick. Take tomatoes that are elastic and dense, because when cutting soft varieties, all the juice will flow out.
2. Wrap the board with cling film so that the frozen fruits can be easily removed, and lay out the tomato rings so that they do not touch each other.
3. Send the tomatoes to the freezer, turn on the temperature -23 ° C and the "shock freeze" mode. When the frozen tomatoes are completely frozen with pizza rings, remove them from the board, place them in a convenient storage container (plastic container with a lid / airtight bag) and send them to the freezer for storage. Keep the temperature in the freezer no higher than -15 ° C, then the tomatoes can be stored until the next harvest for about 10 months. If the temperature is higher, then store the workpiece for no more than six months.
