We used the same tomatoes that we used for the Tomato Conserve, but these were another day riper. This meant I couldn't procrastinate even though I didn't feel like cooking. Good thing too, cause this stuff was good.The peeling of the tomatoes went a lot better today. I gave them 30 seconds in the boiling water and then just a minute in the ice bath. I also think there's a skill to this that I acquired some of yesterday.
It seemed like it took forever to boil the tomatoes down to "dark brown" and "very thick". I was boiling for about 32 minutes, but I took a hint from it being similar to making tomato paste, so I didn't give up until it was good and dark, and good and thick.
This stuff tastes awesome. I'm already thinking about getting some more tomatoes and making more, because I have a LOT of ideas to use this stuff on.Advice: If you're having trouble peeling tomatoes, give them an extra 10 seconds in the boiling water next time. Also make sure the water is REALLY boiling.
