Soft Spots on Tomatoes

Idahowoman · September 17, 2010

I have tomatoes that I picked close to and after a first frost. Some of them have a spot or two where they are softer close to the top of the tomato or some have them on the bottom. I think they got a touch of frost. Do I throw them away or are they safe to use?
Thanks

Cut off/out the soft spots. The rest should be fine.
