Peeled tomatoes in their own juice for the winter are a tender and delicious preparation that is not so difficult to prepare, contrary to popular belief. There are only a few nuances that need to be taken into account when preparing this dish, and the result will please everyone who somehow comes into contact with it.
The nuances of cooking tomatoes in their own juice without skin
Of course, it is more convenient and faster to cook tomatoes in their own juice in the traditional way, without removing the peel. But tomatoes without skin have a much more pleasant taste and delicate texture. In addition, there is a recipe for truly cooking tomatoes in their own juice (without additional filling) and you can only use peeled tomatoes for it. In many other cases, whether to peel tomatoes or not is a choice for everyone. But, having become more familiar with the main secrets of peeling tomatoes, any housewife will be calm about this simple procedure.
A common technique used to make tomatoes in their own juice is to fill glass jars with the fruit and fill them with tomato sauce, followed by sterilization.
You can do without sterilization, but this will require either adding vinegar or additional heating of the tomatoes in the jar. If peeled fruits are used, this may adversely affect their appearance. Therefore, if thermal heating is done for peeled tomatoes, then only once, so that peeled tomatoes do not turn into mush.
Of course, when canning peeled tomatoes in their own juice, you should choose fruits with maximum density. Size also matters - large fruits may not fit entirely into the jar, and peeling cherry tomatoes will require too much fuss. It is best to use medium-sized tomatoes.
As for the use of various additives, peeled tomatoes in their own juice are so delicious in themselves that they are prepared, as a rule, using the minimum required amount of ingredients.
Recipe for delicious tomatoes in a day: quick salting and perfect marinade
Dishes made from tomatoes have an amazing and refined taste. They can be eaten fresh or baked, stewed, or fried. Among many housewives, recipes that do not require much time to prepare are especially popular. One of these dishes is tomatoes quickly salted one day in advance. This is a very tasty snack that even the most picky gourmets will appreciate.
How to quickly peel tomatoes
The classic, so-called “grandmother’s” method of peeling tomatoes is the method of using boiling water and ice.
Attention! You should not undertake to peel overripe or too soft tomatoes - they can immediately fall apart from the use of boiling water and will not withstand preservation as a whole.
You need to prepare:
- a saucepan with boiling water;
- a bowl of ice water (you can add a few pieces of ice to the water to maintain a suitable temperature);
- tomatoes;
- knife.
The tomatoes are thoroughly washed to remove dirt, the stems are removed and slightly dried. Then, on the back side of the stalk, a cut in the skin is made in the form of a cross on each tomato.
Advice! It is best to position yourself next to the stove so that the water in the pan continues to simmer slowly during the procedure.
Each tomato is immersed in boiling water for 10-25 seconds. The exact time spent in boiling water depends on the ripeness of the tomatoes - the more ripe they are, the less they need to be kept there. But it is not advisable for tomatoes to remain in boiling water for more than 30 seconds, since they will already begin to cook. The tomato is then removed from the boiling water and immediately placed in ice water for about 20 seconds, after which it is pulled out onto a tray or flat dish.
Even while the tomatoes are in boiling water, you can see how the skin begins to move away from the fruit at the site of the cut. After this simple procedure, the peel peels off almost on its own; you can only help it a little by using the blunt side of the knife.
If you have very little time and want to carry out this procedure quickly, then you can simply peel the tomatoes with boiling water. To do this, place the tomatoes in a deep bowl and pour boiling water over them for 20-30 seconds. The water is drained, and the tomatoes are ready to peel. You can even then pour ice water for 10-20 seconds to make it easier to clean the already cooled fruits. But you just have to take into account that in this case the skin will not peel off very evenly, in the form of pieces.
How to Peel Tomatoes in the Microwave
Peeled tomatoes can also be obtained quickly and easily by exposure to high temperatures, such as in the microwave.
The skin of the washed and dried fruits is lightly cut in the shape of a cross, and the tomatoes themselves are placed on a flat plate and placed in the microwave for 30 seconds. The peel itself will begin to separate from the pulp and completely peeling the tomatoes is not difficult.
If you don’t have a microwave oven, you can heat the tomatoes in the same way by placing them on a fork and placing them a few centimeters from an open fire, such as a gas burner. By rotating the fruit 360° for uniform heating on all sides for 20-30 seconds, you can achieve the same effect - the skin will begin to peel off.
Preparing tomatoes
The cooking process begins with steaming the tomatoes, which will make removing the top skin much easier. To do this, take pre-washed tomatoes and make small cross-shaped cuts on each one.
Then place them in a saucepan and cover with hot water for 60 seconds. This time is enough for the skin on the tomatoes to become soft and pliable for removal. Remove the skin from the fruit using a sharp knife, carefully without damaging the pulp.
