🍯 5. Roast or Dry Them for Long-Lasting Flavor
Slow-roasted or oven-dried tomatoes become rich and concentrated in flavor. Store them in jars covered with olive oil for weeks in the fridge.
How to make them:
- Slice tomatoes in half or quarters.
- Roast at 250°F (120°C) for 2–3 hours with herbs and garlic.
- Cool and pack in jars with oil.
🫙 6. Make a Simple Tomato Confit or Sauce
Preserve tomatoes in oil with garlic and herbs to create a savory tomato confit, or make a basic sauce to freeze in batches.
Tomato confit can last up to 2 weeks in the fridge, and frozen sauce can be stored for months.
✅ Extra Storage Tips
- Don’t store unripe tomatoes in the fridge—they’ll stop ripening.
- Avoid plastic bags—they trap moisture and speed up spoilage.
- Check often and remove any tomatoes showing signs of rot to protect the rest.
