How to Can Tomatoes! Easy, fun...Wholesome and Simple!
What happens here
Fill a separate pot with water and heat it to between 150°F and 170°F. Gently place the fresh tomatoes into this warm water using a slotted spoon or ladle. Allow the tomatoes to blanch for 10 to 20 seconds, or until the skin begins to loosen and can be easily peeled off. Once blanched, remove the tomatoes and place them in a colander.
Goal: Loosen tomato skins for easy peeling
