Freezing works great. Freeze whole, crushed, diced or quartered in zip loc bags. I don't blanch
You can pull whole tomatoes from the freezer, thaw in a colander and the skins and water will be no problem to remove, then use how you like, sauces, stewed tomatoes as crushed tomatoes in recipes salsa's etc.
Whole tomatoes frozen will look like a jellyfish out of water once thawed, this works great for separating the water and skins, you can save the water for stocks, just put a colander in a bowl and thaw tomatoes in the colander.
Frozen - Roast with your favorite herbs and seal in a vac-seal or ziploc or use a "wide mouth" mason jar to freeze.

Frozen - Roast and freeze with your favorite veggies.

Fresh, Frozen - Use an immersion blender, blender, magic bullet for a quick sauce or tomato soup
Frozen - Dump a huge frozen bag of tomatoes in a dutch oven to make some awesome garden jambalaya.


Fresh - Dehydrate for sun-dried tomatoes (too expensive to buy)


Freeze till the weather gets cool to can sauce or make a ready to eat sauce.


use the scraps in your garden or compost.

Fresh - Dry and use a coffee grinder for a soup and stock thickener, sorry no pic.
