Peeling Tomatoes

So I've discovered that peeling tomatoes isn't actually difficult.

To peel:

• bring pan of water to a boil

• using a slotted spool, dip tomatoes in, one at a time for about 5 seconds

• remove and skin peels off like magic!

  

....now what to do with your lovely skinless tomatoes?
