Then one day, Kathy told me I didn't need to do all that. She showed me all she did was cut off the stem area, any bad spots and FREEZE. Once thawed, the tomatoes loose their skins immediately. If you add them to any liquid while they are frozen, the skins also pop right off. Being of the mindset you have to show me, I tried it with one bag of my own tomatoes. I thawed a few, and the skins popped right off. I added a few frozen ones to a stew, and was immediately able to fish the skins intact from the stew. I now save time and energy (mine and the electric company's) by freezing immediately.<br /><br />I love your art drawing today. It is beautiful and oh-so appropriate for this post!
