Stewed Tomatoes
What do you do when you don’t have enough tomatoes to can but too many tomatoes to use up before they go bad? You make a pan of stewed tomatoes. Then you use them with your favorite recipe that calls for a can of crushed or diced tomatoes. Think spaghetti sauce, chili, soup, cabbage rolls etc. Below is simple instructions of how to stew your tomatoes so you can cook them up immediately without wasting them.
Using water, clean the tomatoes.
Boil a large pot of water and put the tomatoes in carefully.
The tomatoes can be removed when the skin splits like this.
This process does not take long.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the tomatoes from the boiling water.
Once the tomato is cool enough to touch,
remove and discard the core and the skin.
The skin should slip right off.
If you don’t want to use the seeds,
remove them after you take the skin off.
Dice the skinless tomato into small pieces.
Measure the amount you need to cook with your recipe and
use just as your would regular store bought canned tomatoes.

I have to make a tomato sauce, this weekend, so stewing will be one stage of this process. I will try to not use tomato paste.
How wonderful! Longer process but so worth it!
