My husband can't eat fresh tomatoes so for us I find it best to make pasta sauce. On year we had a boat load of tomatoes and I was away for a month. I hate peeling tomatoes and stumbled on this simple solution to both problems. Hubby rinsed the tomatoes and threw them into zip top bags. When I got home and was ready to make and can sauce, I simply dropped the frozen tomatoes into really hot water, after about 15 second the skins slipped right off and I could just let them thaw in a strainer. Once thawed I just made my sauce as usual. Frequently we add sautéed mushrooms to our sauce. I have even been known to add grated carrots to my sauce for a little sweetness and a little more veggie in the jar.Gail Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364220987697998106noreply@blogger.com
