- Tips
- Be sure to use fresh tomatoes for this recipe. It makes all the difference in the world!
- To remove the skins, boil a small pot of water, and using a bacon fork, dip the tomatoes into the boiling water for several seconds. Pierce the skin with a sharp knife and it will burst open and the skins will just slip off with a little help from you..
