Instructions
Rinse tomatoes.
Start a large saucepan of water boiling on the stove.
Prepare a large bowl with ice water. Set aside.
Using a paring knife, remove the stem/core from the tomatoes -
OR
- cut an "x" on the bottom of the tomato.
Add the tomatoes to a pot of boiling water and boil them until you see the skins start to come off (about 1-2 minutes).
Use a slotted spoon and remove the tomatoes and place in the ice water.
Working with the tomatoes one at a time, remove any skin that hasn’t already slipped off.
Once they are peeled you can slice the tomatoes in half (to remove all the seeds) or leave them whole.
