Usually they are unripe at the supermarket, but if I leave them sitting on a shelf they go mouldy.
Is there anything to coat them with to prevent mould growth?
Plenty of things -- but you wouldn't want to eat 'em after. ;-)
[Maybe the good denizens of RFC could help you, so I've added rec.food.cooking to Newsgroups and *set followups* there. Here in the tropics I don't have much of a problem with them during the cooler months, but the fridge is too cold to keep them well at any time.]

We put our surplus tomatoes in the deep freeze where they keep more or less indefinitely. When you want some, take them out, run them under the hot tap, remove the skins and use them in sauces, casseroles, etc., etc.
