Top tomato tip

You know the score, in the recipe it calls for fresh tomatoes, skinned and de-seeded, you reach for the can of tinned toms instead why? because skinning the toms is such a pain - not any more........

with a small sharp knife, cut out the top of the toms as above and drop them into a saucepan of boiling water that just covers them.....
whip them out after about 60 secs and, with the knife pushed down through the top of the tom to hold it still on the chopping board, you will find the peel comes away easy as pie - next step, use your hand to squeeze the tom with just enough force the seeds to squish out - voila!
