Peeling Tomatoes

https://www.eidyncare.co.uk/about-us/ I just harvested the last of my tomatoes for the year, so it’s tomato sauce canning time! Since tomatoes ripen at different times, I freeze my tomatoes as they ripen, so that (hopefully) by the end of the season, I will have enough to make sauce. This year, I ended up with two full gallon bags of frozen Roma tomatoes and about another 3 lbs. of fresh tomatoes, so about 9 lbs. of tomatoes total. I have a food mill (my “Sauce Master” ) that removes the skins and seeds at the same time, and leaves you with a tomato purée, with no chunks. I wanted a chunkier sauce this time and found a recipe that left the seeds in, so I only needed to remove the skins. Peeling tomatoes is a bit time-consuming, but is very simple and easy.

First, remove the stem. Then, with a paring knife, make a shallow X shape in the bottom (blossom end) of the tomato.

With a slotted spoon, remove the tomatoes from the boiling water and put them directly into a bowl of ice water. This will stop any cooking that may have started from the blanching.
