Stewed Tomatoes
These Stewed Tomatoes are just like the ones my grandmother cooked every summer. It’s super easy to make them, even if they’re not straight from a garden. This isn’t just about cooking; it’s about coaxing out the sweet, tangy essence of summer, creating a versatile cornerstone for countless comforting meals.

Ingredients
Instructions

Once the pot of water is boiling, place the tomatoes into the boiling water and blanch for 2 minutes.
- Step 4
Meanwhile, prepare a bowl filled with ice water.
- Step 5
After the 2 minutes is over, remove the tomatoes to the bowl of ice water.
