Peeled Tomatoes For Soups And Sauces ( A "How To")

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt if using. The size of pot depends on how many tomatoes you put in at a time. I only put in five at a time.

2. 2

   At boil, submerge tomatoes (they will float but that's okay), bring water back to a boil. Boil for three to seven minutes depending on the size of tomato.

3. 3

   Remove tomatoes but keep the water simmering for next batch.

4. 4

   Cool enough to handle. The skin should be split on each tomato now, so just peel from that starting point.

5. 5

   Cut in half and remove seeds.

6. 6

   NOW, you have tomatoes ready for whatever is your next step. Easy, right?
