Even though the garden is a weedy mess, I'm getting the tomatoes. Not a bounty but enough to can a few jars.
I found the easiest way this year to peel tomatoes and you can get the job done in no time!
I first cut out the core of all the tomatoes.
I then put them in freezer bags and stick them in the freezer. I like to put them in one layer, otherwise you have a frozen blob. Yep, been there and tried that.
When I got ready to can I put them in a bowl full of warm water and the peel just comes right off!
Here they are ready to put in a pot to boil for canning.
There you are, a fast and easy way to peel tomatoes!

That does work great. I had thought about that this year - but there is no room in freezer. I guess I am back to scalding water!
Cheryl, that would be a problem. Either way gets the job done. Have a great weekend.
That is a great way to get those skins off! Do you keep and try the skins afterwards or no?
That is sure better than those hot scalding tomatoes. I remember peeling hot tomatoes for hours as a child to help with the canning. I can feel those hot tomatoes just like it was yesterday.
Lana, there are some things you never forget!
Hi Belinda, It all goes to the compost or chickens. The chickens love them. I tried drying and using the tomato powder but I never really used it.
