One tip many gardeners face is an onslaught of fresh tomatoes and no time or desire to can up their tomatoes in the heat of summer. So they wash and core their tomatoes and toss them whole into freezer bags and stash them in the freezer until they have enough tomatoes, the weather has cooled off a bit and they have more time. And that is when they can up their homegrown tomatoes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis recipe will indeed work with frozen tomatoes. Just keep in mind that when you freeze fruits (and tomatoes are a fruit) that as they thaw they will release a lot of water. Strain that water off and then proceed to cook the tomatoes as normal. Freezing and thawing the tomatoes and then straining off the water may actually shorten the time you need to cook the tomatoes.
