The hardest way is to make tomato sauce, or whatever you make when you can the tomatoes, but put it into the size containers you want to use them in for recipes, and freeze them. The easier thing to do is wash them, dry them thoroughly, then place them on cookie sheets to freeze. Then take them off the cookie sheets and put them into plastic freezer bags as whole tomatoes. Then put those in the freezer. You can remove as many as you want to use at one time. The recipes say to blanch them, but I never do and they keep fine. That is the most simple way. The in-between way is to make fresh salsa, however you like it, I don't cook mine. Then put it into containers and freeze it. If all else fails, interpretation, you still run out of room, plan to give some of the tomatoes away. Those of us who don't have gardens really appreciate the generosity. In fact, I count on tomatoes from my friends for my winter supply. The years when the crop is poor, I just buy canned varieties because I really dislike winter tomatoes that are "fresh" from the grocery stores.
