How do I can whole tomatoes?
How do I blanch the tomatoes?
To blanch the tomatoes, start by cutting a small "x" at the bottom of each tomato. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water. Using a slotted spoon or strainer, carefully place the tomatoes into the boiling water and let them cook for about 30 seconds. Remove the tomatoes with the slotted spoon and immediately place them into the ice water. Once cooled, the skins should easily slide off.
