Skinning TomatoesSome recipes call for fresh tomatoes to be skinned. Here's a quick guide to skinning tomatoes, nothing could be easier. The easiest way to remove tomato skins is by placing them in boiling water. I prefer using a kettle and a jug to do this job; I feel this way I have more control over the temperature of the water than I would if I used a pan of boiling water on the stove.
Before you add them to the water take each tomato and with a sharp knife make a small incision in the skin; this will encourage the skins to split.Place the tomatoes in the jug and pour over some water from a kettle that's just boiled. Making sure that there's enough water in the jug so that the tomatoes are completely submerged.
Leave the tomatoes in the boiling water for 10-15 seconds. The skins will already be starting to split.Carefully remove the tomatoes straight away and refresh them in a bowl of ice cold water; this will stop the tomatoes from starting to cook. When they're cool enough to handle simply remove the skins and take out the eye: remove the seeds if you wish.
