Freezing Cherry Tomatoes?
Cut them in half, toss them with garlic chunks, onion chunks, fresh oregano if available, salt, pepper, and olive oil, spread in sheet pans, and roast in the oven, either a low (250) temp for a long time (2-3 hours or more) or at a higher temp (up to 450 or 500 F) for a shorter time. Keep checking for a bit of browning, either way. A bit of caramelization is crucial, but don't burn them. Let cool, pack in freezer bags, either strained, puréed, or not (chunky, our preference) and freeze. YUM! Best sauce for pasta or pizza ever!
