sure why not
It is a canned tomato product where the tomatoes were cooked with onion and celery and sometimes spices before canning.
no because they have skin
Yes. You need to peel the tomatoes. Put them in very hot water for a few minutes and the skin will come off very easily. Now, cut them up in small pieces and boil them in one cup of water until they are soft. (That's stewed tomatoes.)
use the same recipe as used with Roma Tomatoes for canning
Stewed tomatoes are cooked or stewed and diced tomatoes are cut into pieces but all tomatoes remain tomatoes no matter what you do to them. Not true at all. During processing of diced tomatoes a firmer less ripe tomato is used to hold up for a smaller cut, while stewed tomatoes are from fruit that is vine ripened longer and much more flavorful. Different tomatoes and lengths of ripening vary for all canned products which affects flavor.
Yes, provided the can is in date.
Sure, but it might have a slightly different flavor.
Tomatoes are used fresh to eat in salads or sandwiches, or just plain. Tomatoes are most often eaten and used when fully ripe, but green tomatoes can be breaded and fried. Tomatoes are used canned for whole,stewed, diced, paste, sauce, juice, and combined as an ingredient in canned foods for example in soups, canned pasta, etc. Tomatoes are also frozen as ingredients in lasagna, pizza, sauces, soups, etc. Tomatoes are also dried for use in foods. Tomatoes are often associated with international cuisine such as Italian foods including pizza, and Mexican,food such as enchilada sauce.
Yes, you can freeze stewed tomatoes.

Yes, stewed tomatoes or picante sauce can be substituted in equal amounts for any recipe that calls for tomato juice or ketchup. My family likes to put their ketchup on the meat loaf after it is cooked, so using tomato juice or ketchup in the recipe was to much, but the stewed tomatoes give the dish a milder flavor. The picante sauce spices it up.
Ratatouille is a stewed vegetable dish and no meat is used to make it, just ingredients such as tomatoes, with garlic, onions, courgettes and herbs. All the ingredients are sautéed lightly in olive oil.
