Ingredients
- 8 tomato fresh
- 5 cups water
- water cold or ice water
Instructions
- Rinse your tomatoes to get rid of impurities and pesticides (if any).
- Keep a pot to boil with water. Cover for the water to boil faster over high heat.
- Reduce heat setting to medium and place fresh tomatoes into the cooking water.
- Keep a timer at 30-60 seconds (for roma/medium-sized tomatoes) and watch how the skin starts to crack. Don't keep the tomatoes blanching any longer than that.
- Take out tomatoes with a slotted spoon and place them into a prepared bowl with cold or ice water. You can also take the blanched tomatoes through running cold water. This will stop the cooking process instantly.
- When the tomatoes have cooled, peel them by simply taking off the skin with your fingers. The skin should go off easily.
- Use tomatoes in your food or store them in the freezer or can them. The skin can be discarded or dry the skin in a dehydrator, to turn into powder to use as a seasoning.
