I dont know about you but my tomatoes have tuff skins. So before I make my sauce tonight I took the skins off. Its real simple. Just a little extra prep work. You will need a bowl full of ice, a boiling pot, collander, a little knife. First score all your tomatoes on the bottom with a X, This will help them peel. While you are doing this put your pot on to boil. When you have that done dip your tomatoes in the water.
It dosnt take long, when you see the skin peel a little take them out and dump them in a ice bath. This will stop the cooking and help peel the tomatoes.
Just peel and core them. I put mine in a bowl so I can ruff chop them to put into my pasta sauce.
So there you go. Nothing is better then your own tomatoes simmering in a sauce for a few hours, Filling up your house with the yummy aromas of tomatoes and basil. I am glad that my 20 some odd plants have started to turn red. If you wonder why your tomatoes didn't turn red it might be due to it being to hot. The temp has dropped to the 80's here and my tomatoes are going crazy. But that is another blog. The benefits from this is that its all natural. You are in control of the ingredients in your tomatoes and its CHEAP! If you think about it a pack of tomato seeds are only at the most 2.00 dollars. Which contains enough seeds for about 20 plants. So you get tomato's for less than pennies if each plant cost about 5 cents. Until next time. Have a good afternoon.
