Give picnic leftovers a second chance to be eaten!
• Keep them chilled.
• Pop any leftovers back into your cooler bag to keep them at their best, so they can be eaten later.
• Take them with you or share them with guests to take home.

Got extra tomatoes? Here’s how to freeze them:
-Blanch, peel, and drain whole tomatoes. Cool before freezing.
-Chop, cook to reduce water, add basil, and store as a concentrated puree in ice cube trays for perfect soup or pasta portions!
