      They are best made right when you want to eat/use them. If you want to keep, store in air tight container in fridge for 2 to 3 days.
      I haven’t tested freezing these, my best guess YES, you can freeze.
      To freeze, let them cool completely after it’s roasted. Then pack them into freezer bags & pop in freezer. Use in recipes that call for tomatoes

    There isn’t a better option to cook tomatoes if you really want the most flavour out of these little red gems. This was the best idea to use these for a beautiful tomato soup. Absolutely delicious!
