Another method recommended by Old World Garden Farms is creating "freezer bricks"?" large blocks of soups, sauces and salsas that are ready to go. If you have the time, you can chop up all your harvested tomatoes and other vegetables and cook a huge batch of pasta sauce, soup, and other sauces to freeze in individual portions that are ready to use. Choosing a flat and thin shape for your bricks means they'll thaw quickly when you're in a rush to get dinner ready.
