How to Store Green Tomatoes
Canning green tomatoes is a great way to preserve them. Green tomatoes are more acidic than ripe tomatoes and therefore more suitable for
tomato canning.
Preserving Cherry Tomatoes
Cherry tomatoes are easy to store by either drying or canning. Don't bother trying to peel them. Just wash them, remove the stems and cut them in half.Use them in
tomato preserves
or jam or make
tomato juice
if you have loads of them at the end of the tomato growing season.
How to Store Tomatoes
Storing Fresh Picked Tomatoes
Of course, the best thing to do is to harvest home grown tomatoes when they are vine ripe and cook or eat them raw that day. But this is not always possible.Ripe tomatoes hold their flavor best at room temperature. But they keep longer if refrigerated. If you cannot use or preserve them quickly, store them on a low shelf in your fridge. Don't wrap them or put them in the crisper--it's too moist in there. If you need to pick underripe (full sized but not fully colored) tomatoes at the end of the growing season, store them unwrapped at room temp.
