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

28 ounces - Tomatoes
¼ tsp - Salt

Instructions

Set a large pot of water on high heat.
Clean all of your tomatoes and use a sharp paring knife to cut a small “X” in the bottom of each tomato.
Once the pot of water is boiling, place the tomatoes into the boiling water and blanch for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare a bowl filled with ice water.
After the 2 minutes is over, remove the tomatoes to the bowl of ice water.
Once the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off and discard their skins and stems. Repeat with all tomatoes.
Pour out the water from the pot and place the tomatoes back in the pot.
Set over low heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20-30 minutes until thickened.
