Instruction

  • Set a large pot of water on the stove to boil while you prepare the tomatoes.
  • Turn tomatoes over to the bottom and, using a paring knife, cut a shallow X in the bottom. Core tomatoes, if you like.
  • Carefully lower tomatoes into the boiling water, in batches. Remove after about 30 seconds, once skins start to crack.

  • Once tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel skins from tomatoes and use in your favorite recipe.
