This is a necessary step in preparing tomatoes for canning or other type of processing.
- First, remove the cores on the tomatoes (doing it now is much easier than after removing the peel)
- Fill your sink with cold water
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil
- Once the water is boiling, place tomatoes in the pot and set your timer for 30 seconds
- When the timer goes off, remove the tomatoes from the boiling water and place in the sink filled with cold water
- The skins should come right off the tomatoes. Granted there may be one or two who want to be difficult, but just take a knife and scrape the skin off
- Repeat steps 4 & 5 until all tomatoes are peeled
