Ingredients

• 20 fresh tomatoes (any type)
• boiling water
• salt (optional)

Recipe

• 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 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 remove tomatoes but keep the water simmering for next batch.
• 4 cool enough to handle. the skin should be split on each tomato now, so just peel from that starting point.
• 5 cut in half and remove seeds.
• 6 now, you have tomatoes ready for whatever is your next step. easy, right?
