We had tons of tomatoes, made salsa and spaghetti sauce that I canned using jars from Freecycle!! I also blanched, seeded and chopped a bunch of tomatoes and put them in the freezer in ziploc bags. I've done it before, it works great, but I usually take the time to blanch and seed them. I'm jealous though, my tomato plants have a ton of new tomatoes, but they are all baby green ones!! Who knew that tomato plants in the south would start putting out new flowers and tomatoes in the middle of the summer!

With the basil rather than putting the whole plant in stems and all (which I have done in the past and it works fine) was put the leaves in the food processor with just a bit of olive oil to get it going then put it in butter containers in the freezer, just scrape a bit off the top when you want to use it.
