How to Peel Tomato's

To peel a tomato, first use your paring knife to cut out the stem. Then slice a shallow X in the bottom 

Using a slotted spoon, plunge the tomato into boiling water for a few seconds, then plunge it into a bowl of iced water. This will stop the tomato from cooking and further loosen the skin.

Remove the cooled tomato and peel away the skin. This same technique can be used for ripe peaches.

Tomato's

We have been canning tomato's... So far my plants have yielded enough to eat, plus 18 quarts of tomato's and 6 quarts of juice.  Like "Aunt Martha's Kitchen" on Facebook  to follow whats going on in my kitchen.
