preserving tomatoes

The storms and cold killed my plants. I picked 30 pounds of tomatoes and need to preserve them until I can them.
How much salt do I use? Is there anything else I should add like water?
It will be a week before I get to them.

Are you asking how to hold them, how to can them, or both?

you can puree them and freeze them in gallon bags. the same with peppers. I put whole stemless peppers in a gallon milk jug , fill it with water , freeze it and when you want it thaw and it is the same as the day you froze it. mike w

Sorry about my badly worded question.
I won't have time to can them for a few days and need to keep them from spoiling until then.

Just keep them cool and dry and they should be fine.

If they're ripe, you can just freeze them whole. Then thaw them as you need them for sauces, soups, chili, etc. I've been doing that for years when I get sick of canning them or don't have time.

How do you measure trying, you do, or you don’t.

We freeze them whole on a cookie sheet, then put in ziplocks for use in soups and stews. The skins come off after thawing really easy.
This should work as a temp storage solution as well.

Boss makes a good point. After they've been frozen you can just run them under hot water while they are still frozen and the skins just rub right off.
