How to Blanch and Peel Roma Tomatoes

[@JonesStreetMusic]

I did it! I'm 55 years old, have raised 3 kids, and never blanched a vegetable in my live until recently. When cv19 started happening, my husband signed us up to get produce from a local farm, delivered every week in season (I'm in Ontario, Canada). So far I've done carrots and beets and turnips, and I thought I'd try my hand at tomatoes. We get some beefsteak tomatoes, which promptly go into sandwiches or served on a platter as a side dish, but we get lots of Romas too. So bit the bullet and did a bunch of Romas. I'm a nervous soul when it comes to trying new things, especially in the kitchen, but your clear instructions, and demonstration, and indeed your friendly and calm voice led me to give it a go. And tada, I did it! Thank you so much! I realized after the first couple that the top end floats, ha, and is therefore harder to peel (because it wasn't blanched as long). Started holding the little rascals down and smooth sailing. :). Thank you!

Thanks for this clear, helpful video. I have my first harvest of Roma's and wasn't feeling confident. I am far more confident after watching this! :)

I throw about 30-40 in a couple trays and toss them in the oven after cutting the ends off for about 30 min. The skins just fall off.

Iv'e done them without using any ice water & just used very cold Water from the sink , works great also.

TY I was going to send hubby out to buy a big bag of ice.

needs to stay in the boiling water longer...easier to peel
