FYI: These tomatoes will be used for sauces and put in strews etc. They won't be able to use for slices and add in salads. 👉WATCH NEXT: 40 Foods That Freeze Well- kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6q8p6mEhLJsiKM She’s In Her Apron Planner & Shop- shesinherapron.myshopify.com/

They will still have amazing flavour! I love fresh garden tomatoes. Way better than the grocery store got house ones.

[@tinster01]

Thanks I was wondering what you use them for.

[@Sheywh12]

I learned if you put X cut on the bottom of the tomatoes 🍅 it’s easier to peel when cooking..Please tell me how to get the skin off with no X on the bottom I need to know I did what you did!! Froze first then learned 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@jillianh5956]

They're extra good if you roast them before freezing

[@carlaclark9191]

@@Sheywh12 the skins come right off after you freeze them. No X cut needed.

[@karaspackman9416]

If you don’t have a food saver, use a ziploc bag, fill it with your vegetable or meat, etc. and then fill your sink or a large bowl full of water and submerge the bag into the water up to the very top and then seal it! Air tight trick!!!

[@terryrodriguez6209]

Brilliant. Never would have thought of that. I’ve been sucking the air out with a straw.

[@crazystuff47]

🗣Do a lil video! I assume the water will not enter the bag?

[@altcoinsfm414]

I honestly thought this was something I did to be cheap but so glad others out there think alike. :)

[@thinkingofothers353]

THANK YOU ,,, you are so Wise.....great idea...🐈🐈🐈.

[@beatricebraswell4677]

Can you do example in another video. Not sure I understand how it works.

[@ashlibrysiak8759]

I do this before cold season. I buy any veggies I use in soups during the winter. Dice them up, freeze them on a cookie sheet and then put them in ziplock bags. So in the winter I can fix up soups without running to the store for whichever veggies I ran out of. I freeze my jalapeños whole and just dice them as i use them. But haven't done corn on the cob! Fantastic idea.

[@catsomk]

"No, I'm talking to my friends" 😂😂😂 so funny and natural 😊

[@tifanymack4587]

I'm so glad someone else thought that funny! I thought that was my que to go to bed

[@catsomk]

@@tifanymack4587 it made me giggle so much lol

[@ginaquintanilla1533]

I love 💕 the way you take care your family! I'm mexicana; I will give you a easy way to remove seeds from jalapeños; cut off a half way and then use an small spoon and remove the seeds. Easy way!!!

[@marcie9760]

Kimmy , I appreciate your videos. I like seeing “real” videos, of “real” moms that are sometimes just winging it. I always enjoy your KZbin channel. ❤️😘

[@rachelmomof6]

Watching this while chopping up tomatoes and peppers and onions from my garden! Canning salsa today. 😋

[@belindaaguirre8181]

I tell ya, I think you’re a genius! I learn so much from you. Thank you for being such a great teacher.

[@julietannOsfan1972]

I can’t believe how deep Boston’s voice is now!

[@carolcrudder7864]

I wish I had room to do this. Like you said, there is no comparison to fresh picked veggies and fruits. Love them!

[@dianecelaya1354]

I just got one of those food choppers and I am loving it

[@MsS-J]

They're called butternut pumpkins here in Australia. I love them mashed with potatoes. Cook them with your potatoes and just mash as usual. So, SO yummy!

[@tammypancake5877]

I am definitely going to try the corn! Thank you for all the tips on freezing veggies! ❤️

[@donnabruhn5162]

Last year when I bought a bunch of sweet corn to freeze I cooked it in the oven and it turned out so good.

[@naomiminnick6416]

I've learned that if you get the juice from the peppers on your eyes hair [r nails run your hands through your hair til the burning stops. As for your eyes rub your hair in your eyes. This stops the burning. I learned my lesson the hard way but the rubbing with hair works.

[@madzabinga8382]

This was so helpful! You have taught me several new things. Thank you for doing the research, and for sharing your knowledge.

[@alvinakannemeyer9579]

I really appreciate these freezing tips, thank you 😊

[@SISSYKAY]

Those tomatoes are gorgeous! This was a very useful video. Easy freezing of vegies. Thanks!!

[@jeanettethiessen2476]

I love freezing and preserving fruits and veg! I got lots of beans this summer which I blanched and froze. Corn on the cob sounds like a great idea!

[@debbiehoule8338]

I am going to the farm stand today!!! I love the idea of fresh corn in the winter!!

[@susanturner1171]

Brilliant idea to use your food chopper to do the jalapenos. I have one of those and I never even thought to use it for the peppers and I make salsa all the time.. thank you!

[@wanderingteacup39]

Great idea to use the food saver to help freeze farm stand vegetables and butternut squash. 🍅 🌽

[@kathiesweeney4013]

Using a spoon to scoop out the jalapeno ribs and seeds is so much faster and easier. You have some beautiful fresh produce!

[@marshabrubaker185]

Excellent video. We never froze veggies, but did can tons of fruits & veggies during the summer. During the wicked winters of Michigan, we really enjoyed the canned veggies & fruits.

[@jaroffireflies]

Your local farmers market sounds amazing! Thanks for the tips to save the produce ❤️ I heard you on the Erika Veiera channel yesterday, so great! I love seeing your huge success!

[@allioakley3372]

I just cut the corn off the cob n vacuum seal it. Takes less space 💗

[@pamelaanderson2666]

Thank you for showing us how to freeze food I love your videos stay blessed

[@TheMudPup1]

My mind is blown.... you can freeze tomatoes 🍅 🤯... would love to see a video or IG story of the food saver.

[@maureendavidson8264]

So glad you showed me how to do this!

[@cynthiagilbert]

I love frezing the peppers and use them in salads, taco meat i cook, and my Ground turkey southwest Chipole meat i cook, i also freeze the bell peppers and oniions and through them in my Ground turkey mixture . Hot peppers i put in so many things, meat loaf, burgers, either ground beef or Ground Turkey. Thank you for validating freezing veggies, i love them so much. i do not have anything to take air out of baggies so i use freex=zer bags for them.

[@Anyankah]

The local farmers market only set up like twice this year. Maaaaaaybe next year. I’m looking forward to it! Great video!

[@laurielyon1892]

I froze my tomatoes as I got them out of my garden and they peeled so easy when I was ready to make juice and sauce to can. I cut the corn off my cob for most of them and just put them in freezer bags-no blanching either and they were great! I didn’t think about freezing the butternut squash I have. I’m going to do that today because I don’t want it to go bad.

[@jerib8654]

We love jalapeños and home grown ones are so much spicer than the ones in our stores. One of our favorite ways to use them is in pinto beans.

[@chanelle7484]

I’m absolutely loving these videos!!! 🧡

[@ozarkmountainwoodshopandfa9500]

We love the forged and fire knife 🙂 seriously the best knives

[@marcie9760]

Omg....I love that tea cup apron!

[@vonlipi]

Great tips ! I will use the corn and squash tip soon!

[@rose281396]

I Love these videos where you show all your tips and tricks. I started freezing my vegetables last year, more out of convenience than anything else. I buy huge bags of onions and garlics, peppers, potatoes, celery, carrots, etc at Costco or Sam’s and then I spend a whole day washing chopping, bagging and freezing them. It makes my life so much easier when cooking because then I don’t have to spend time chopping veggies for my meals, I just pull them out of the freezer and defrost them with my meats and then I am good to go!! I am going to try your corn method and I am going to invest in a food saver this weekend. Thanks Kimmie!!

[@suziekottke7673]

Would you freeze onions and potatoes the same as squash? I love these ideas, I just may have to buy an apt size freezer 🤔😉

[@cynthiagilbert]

@@suziekottke7673 yes mam

[@simplyraisingarrows7369]

How do the potatoes not get brown ? Or do you leave in the skin

[@cynthiagilbert]

Simply Raising Arrows I freeze them cut up in any shape I will use later like diced sliced. That’s the potatoe. Either skin on or off. Onion I just dice and freeze. The potatoes I use in many dishes by browning them in the oven . And use them in those rescipes. Onions I pan fry off the liquid or throw in oven as well to use in dishes!

[@cynthiagilbert]

Simply Raising Arrows I for got . I cook the potatoes first. I boil them just to a soft point .

[@leahhitz7183]

I just did SO many veggies pretty much the same way. With zip lock bags thank you for sharing

[@shesinherapron]

Wonderful!

[@user-hi3wf1dw8w]

Thank you very much for your new joint from Algeria

[@nancy9704]

I had no idea you could freeze vegetables!!! I completely agree with you about tomatoes -- there's nothing like the taste of garden tomatoes or strawberries! Thank you so much for this informative video.

[@mjackson780]

I love adding hot peppers in cornbread.

[@shesinherapron]

Great idea!

[@melodystull19]

I have a kitchen the size of a walk in closet so I can only keep out the things most important to me my food saver is one of those I repackage all my meat and cheeses and also veggies. Even some leftovers. Well worth the space it takes

[@tondrahill5646]

Yeeesss!!! FRESH IS BEST! I grew up in the country and the food we ate growing up was waaaayyyy tastier than the food we have in stores now 🤷🏾‍♀️ Thanks for all the tips 👍🏾 definitely got to invest in a food saver 😉😉😉

[@GardeningWarrior]

I had a small harvest from my apartments community garden and a HUGE produce donation from a special program called "Food for All" here in WA state. I am the ONLY person in my apartment complex that EVER comes to get the produce when the donations come in. I have been water bath canning and pressure canning for 3 days straight. My freezers are FULL..Thank you for all that you share through your channel with so many people. It is such a joy to have what I call an "Apron Marathon" and binge listen/watch your vids both old and new while I am doing all this hard work.

[@candicetysick5029]

For a really tasty fall medley I like doing beets, carrot & butternut or acorn squash with salt, pepper and olive oil in the oven until caramelized. It also goes really well with brussel sprouts added

[@lindaminaga2649]

Sounds Marvelous

[@wendiebeall7627]

Good morning ☀️ thank you for the great videos, keep up the good work!!

[@TrishVotel]

Thank you. . . . . I stopped blanching years ago I love corn it tastes so crisp and yummy Everything has always turned out wonderful Crisp and with vibrant color and flavor I have a large garden and freeze a variety of veggies Thank you Thank you Thank you

[@melindaridinger3008]

Awesome video Kimmy!!! Ive been doing the same with fresh veggies. I found an amazing recipe on recipe for corn in the instant pot. Its a family favorite. 6-8 Ears of corn, peeled, cut in half 4 cups water 1 Tbsp. Sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 3 Tbsp. Butter Place trivet in the pot Add all ingredients. Set to seal. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Then a quick release.

[@kristietobin81]

I have always chopped my tomatoes! Will have to try freezing them whole! And now I want to get more corn on the cob! I cut it all off and then freeze, but corn on the cob in winter sounds really good!

[@kelleybeecher1779]

So exciting. Can't wait to do some 🌽 corn! Thanks

[@amberbennett6951]

I like to make salsa or leave them whole and stuff them with cream cheese and wrap in bacon 😍 so yum!

[@jilltool7133]

How long will they last in the freezer?

[@resellereverafter4235]

I know what you mean by the taste is so much different from the farmers markets! When we moved to North Dakota there was a local farmers market by our house every weekend that alot of people went to... & the CORN and tomatoes... WOW. I was literally blown away and enjoying it so much. It was almost like I was eating them for the first time ever

[@barbeltschorschke8129]

I didn't even know you could freeze tomatoes. Thanks for the tip

[@tinav68]

I would love to see another video like this with different vegetables

[@oldman9843]

I need another freezer just for the vegetables, sounds good

[@breaann9814]

Hey Kimmy, just wanted to give you a tip for cleaning the peppers. Use the tip of a small spoon (like one used for cereal) and it will make it a LOT easier to clean. I like to start at the tip and just scrape down the vein and scoop it out with the seeds. Love your videos, thanks for all the wonderful content.

[@rebeccalunsford9372]

This a great idea thank you Kimmy🎃

[@pinkcats6129]

Tomatoes corn looks really good to freeze

[@marytaylor8417]

Save the squash seeds! Spread on cookie sheet dot with butter or margarine. Toast at 350 degrees for about10 to 20 minutes. Actually this for pumpkin seeds, but squash seeds work. It makes a great snack. Love your channel. Thinking of starting my own.

[@SewingatHomeMom]

Thanks for this video! I freeze vegetable as well but NEVER thought of freezing corn 🌽....! Will freeze it this year!

[@Stapletonhomestread_Ohio]

Great video has always ❤❤ Sometimes people forget how they put up food back in the old days. Now people want to follow guidelines what not.

[@StandingInMyPower]

I use jalapeños with my egg scramble. I chop up fresh tomato, chopped up onion, diced jalapeños and cilantro. I sauté until the veggies get soft and add eggs. Tastes so good with tortillas. I sprinkle some cotija cheese. Yum!

[@cgabby98]

Never thought to use jalapeno in eggs 🤤

[@Sinatra4]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing. We buy the jalapenos in a can. Have a blessed day Kimmy and Fam💗

[@shakinariley6272]

Wonderful ideas I must try this

[@jenniferstanley2724]

The spaghetti squash can last for 6months! We planted some this yr for the first time and we have been enjoying them since June

[@amyharding4208]

I did a lot of canning this year! I’m planning on buying a freeze dryer so I can’t wait to play around making meals. with that. I don’t have a food saver but I think I may need to invest in one!

[@milisaspencer6744]

I have saved so much money with my Food Saver!

[@CynthiaVicario]

Love your videos Kimmie . Your such a trail blazer . I use jalapeños for green chili verde , salsa, add it to a roast and just love the kick it can give your recipes . 🙋🏻‍♀️🥰🏡

[@kimberlypreston5545]

Great ideas....I need to get a new food saver.

[@wendycone4599]

I recently chopped up and diced 12 pounds of onions to freeze. Now I'm set for about 6 months worth of onions love it half hours work for months of food prep

[@henriomoeje8741]

Jalapeños for pico de gallo, chili, blended in stews, guacamole, etc. Is very versatile 👌

[@shesinherapron]

Perfect!

Thank you for this video 🥰🥰🥰🥰 love your videos and meals you share

[@georgealmaraz658]

Favorite use of Jalapenos...Papas a La Mexicana-Pan fry potato cubes in olive or coconut oil 'til crispy, add cubed onions, tomatoes, jalapenos 'til softened and 2 easy overs on the side with wheat tortillas, salt and pepper to taste, cayenne pepper if it needs a kick. Cup of coffee with hazelnut creamer and water on the side. Then walk the dobie. I think I just described my Saturday mornings 8)...Thanks for the tips, I learned much. Thanks!

[@kimberlyholt5384]

I LOVE watching all of your videos! ❤

[@shesinherapron]

Thank you so much!!

[@betsiepruett9869]

Try a spoon when you clean out your jalopenos. Faster and gets out the vein and seeds in one to two quick swipes. I love your channel. Real life and great recipes/ideas ♥️♥️♥️

[@janicepeterson7948]

Girl 1st of all love you for tying your hair back. My pet peeve. 2nd. Yes I wear a mask when cutting these

[@donna8212]

Morning Kimmy! Oh that Food Saver is awesome!!! Love seeing it take all the air out ☺️. One of these days I’ll have to get one 😊. You can’t beat fresh vegetables from a farmer’s market 👍🏻. Lol, one thing you forgot to mention in the podcast interview was, what an awesome personality you have, and that’s one of the reasons people love your channel 😉. Along with all the other things you do and put into your channel, you yourself are awesome and everyone sees that 😉👍🏻. Love you and have a fantastic day!!!!! ❤️😘

[@shesinherapron]

Donna you are always the sweetest! Thank you so much.

[@angelacollins1343]

The squash seeds are yummy toasted. Soak in salt water for awhile so they separate from the stringy flesh. Let them dry and toast them in a pan. Great snack.

[@mamagoody593]

When I saw the teaser at the beginning and you had gloves and a mask on in your kitchen I thought you had lost it for good lol. But then I saw the peppers and it all made sense

[@shesinherapron]

That's so funny!

[@loripark6391]

Wow it's looks so good! It's like what you'd get from a store, only better. I'm in rural Pennsylvania. I need to find me a roadside veggie stand!💜

[@patriciaking2865]

Enjoyed this freezer video

[@taracrosby1538]

Vegetarian Tortilla Soup is my favorite thing to make with jalapenos.

[@kathycourington4748]

I didn't know you could freeze tomatoes...wow

[@ng3069]

I need that apron! So so cute!

[@Dorrie519]

Just a heads up, the longer you let corn sit after picking the more starch they develop. Freeze or process asap! Also, you can treat the squash seeds the same as pumpkin and roast them!!

[@bigrich6750]

I never knew you could freeze whole tomatoes or several of the other veggies you froze. Good to know! I have a couple dozen tomatoes from my garden that I need to do something with.

[@thegray0]

you're a life saver, thank you so much

[@fab4gal834]

I use a melon baller to scrape the seeds out of the Jalapeno Peppers! It's the perfect size to dig into the skin and scrape out the rib and seeds without disturbing the rest of the pepper especially if you want to stuff it. Even if you're just going to chop them up, the melon baller is the best tool for this by far... A spoon is also okay to use as well but they tend to be bigger so go with the melon baller if you can!

[@Simplycrystal2228]

I like to add a little bit of milk, butter and sugar to my corn water, it makes it so yummy. I definitely need a food saver.

[@cheris34]

When your de-seeding your jalapenos use a teaspoon to scrape the seeds and membrane out, much easier then using your fingertips. Thank you for this video I had no idea you could freeze whole tomatoes like that.

[@carolyneastman6095]

Great tips!

[@kimharrison8816]

Another tip...after you take the corn out of the freezer with the husk on just soak them in warm water for a few minutes and the husk will come right off! Loved the video

[@shesinherapron]

Great idea!!

[@LifesLittleThingz]

I didn't know you could freeze corn unblanched. I blanched mine this year, crap! Next year will be different and I'm going to freeze whole tomatoes too. Thanks for the info Kimmy!
