How To Peel Tomatoes

This post was shared with us from Living So Abundantly. I thought I would post it in the Articles section as well as the Frugal Tips section and the Recipe section so it would be easy to find.

Having been blessed with buckets and buckets of tomatoes this year, I embarked on a mission myself to find ways to use up tomatoes in assorted ways. What resulted was a little cookbook available on Kindle. You can click on and take a look right here: The Tomato Cookbook – Tomato Recipes From Soup To Grilled

On with the instructions for peeling tomatoes from LivingSoAbundantly.com.

Thank you,

First, remove the top of the tomato with a paring knife.

Slice an “x” on the bottom of the tomato.

Immerse the tomato into boiling water with a slotted spoon for 3-5 seconds; remove.

Using the slotted spoon, immediately immerse the tomato into an ice bath; remove in 3-5 seconds.

Easily peel off the skin, and this is what you get. So easy!

Why would I want peeled tomatoes? Salsa, of course! You can also make homemade spaghetti sauce, too.
There are so many uses for peeled tomatoes.
