Sniff it. You'll know if it's gone bad. If I have some that are really wrinkly, I'll use them in a quick sauce.
An over ripe tomato hasn't gone "bad" in the sense it's unsafe to eat.
Thanks Kayelle! How long do tomatoes usually keep when not refrigerated?
If my tomatoes last long enough to get wrinkly, I roast them, makes them nice and sweet, and they make a great sauce.
So my question is, can I roast the ones that need to have something done with them in a hurry, freeze them, then at a later date do the same thing again with additional tomatoes and add it to the frozen ones from earlier?
I find they can keep for up to a week, depending on how ripe they are.
