30+ Fresh Tomato Recipes

The Tomato, one of the most popular and welcoming vegetable of Summer. Whether you have your own garden, go to a Farmer’s Market or even Grow a few in a Pot. There is nothing like a Fresh Tomato.

Most Popular Types of Tomatoes

With over 3000 varieties, there must be a few to your liking. Some of the most popular tomatoes for eating in salads or sliced with a little sprinkling of salt and a drizzle of olive oil are Bush,  Cherry, Grape, Plum, Roma, Black and why not add some Green, Yellow or Orange Tomatoes just to name a few.

Unlike my sister who would go in the middle of the garden and eat a ripe tomato like an apple, I prefer my fresh tomatoes either stuffed or drizzled with a little oil.

How to choose the best tomato

Any tomatoes with blemishes or dark spots should be avoided. They should feel a bit heavy and have a good weight for their size. Make sure that they are firm but give in to a light pressure. They should also have a wonderful sent where the stem is or used to be.

How to freeze them

Freezing tomatoes can be done without blanching, just place the clean dried tomatoes on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer until firm. Transfer to a freezer safe bag or container. They will last for 6 months in the freezer.

        Thank you Rosemary! You have it all covered, as far as tomato recipes are concerned. I’m saving this entire collection, since I always have tomatoes, in one form or another, on hand. My husband grows several varieties every year, so we not only have fresh tomatoes to use throughout the growing season, but we also do a lot of tomato canning, …..juice, whole, diced, sauce, etc., but there’s nothing better than a just picked tomato from the garden, with a tiny sprinkle of salt! 🍅 💗
