Homemade “Canned” Diced Tomatoes

1. 1

   Note: This makes the same amount as a 15-ounce can.

2. 2

   Bring a high-sided saute pan or skillet of water to boil. Add the tomatoes and let boil for 1 minute. Drain the water and drop the tomatoes in a bowl of ice water.

3. 3

   Once the tomatoes have cooled to touch, place them on a cutting board and pull their skin off (it should peel off very easily). Cut the tomatoes in half and remove their core. Dice to preferred size.

4. 4

   In the same pan, add the diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer on medium-low heat. Simmer for 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Do whatever the heck you need to do with them!

6. 6

   Cool tip: if you need crushed instead of diced, you can cut the tomatoes in half and place the cut side on a grater. Grate down to the skin and you are left with peeled, crushed tomatoes! No boiling = 1 less step!
