1. Rinse your tomatoes to get them clean.

2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. As long as your tomatoes will be completely submerged, any amount of water is fine.

3. Gently drop your tomatoes into the boiling water. Boil for 2 – 5 minutes until the tomato skins start to crack open.

4. While they’re still hot, drop the tomatoes into a bowl of ice water. (You’ll want to use tongs to remove them from the boiling pot!). Keep them submerged in the ice bath for at least 2 – 3 minutes.

5. Peel your tomatoes one at a time. Since their skins are already loose, it should be easy: Just pinch the tops to gather the loose skin and peel downwards.

6. Dice your skinned tomatoes in whatever sizes or portions that you’d like.

7. Use, store, or freeze your diced tomatoes. If there’s any juice on your cutting board, it can be thrown in with the diced mixture for a little extra flavor. You can throw away or compost the loose skins.
