Freezing those cherry tomatoes that are overflowing in your garden is a great way to preserve them. Cherry tomatoes are so small that it really makes little sense to peel them. Instead, you can simply freeze them whole just as they are. This is a really fast process that does not require blanching and freezing them whole helps to retain the nutrients that are found in the skins.
Just wash, pull off the stem, and flash freeze them on a baking sheet. Once they are frozen, place them in a freezer safe bag, making sure the squeeze as much air out of the bags as possible.
When you are ready to use them just pull them out of the freezer and add them to your recipe. You can freeze tomatoes for up to a year at a time and enjoy them anytime you want.
This YouTube channel is supporting the NGO’s described below morally for now and financially when the channel reaches pre-set milestones.
The NGO’s
1. Beyond Innocence Foundation. This is an NGO in Taita, Kenya that provides sanctuary for young children who have been victims of child and sexual abuse.
2. Stichting Afropeans. This is an NGO that seeks to celebrate all Europeans of African origin in Europe and to highlight their ongoing contributions to both the African and European societies. (I have to declare a personal interest here. I am the founder and chairperson of Stichting Afropeans)
The pre-set milestones.
1. When this channel reaches 1,000 subscribers, I will put a link to both NGO’s in all the subsequent videos so that you can go to their websites for more detailed information about their work etc.
2. When this channel hits the 10,000 subscribers threshold, I will make a personal cash donation to both NGO’s!
3. When this channel reaches 100,000 subscribers, I will personally go to Kenya to cook for the whole accommodation where those children are living in Taita for a week. If I can’t I will provide the money to make that happen.
One other pledge.
From the moment my first 50 videos are posted, I will be making 1 meal a week for 20 less privileged people in my neighbourhood.
Finally, this channel is dedicated to all the great Africans who came before and inspire us. As a student of history, I will be honouring these great Africans with every new food I create or recreate. This is my pledge.
Please subscribe to the channel and help us grow!
Let’s cook and eat!
