Wash tomatoes, then place a X in the bottom of the tomato. Typically, the larger the X, the easier the tomato will be to peel.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While the water is boiling, prepare an ice bath with water and ice and set near the boiling water.

Place the tomatoes in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then remove and place immediately in the ice water to cool down. The skin will be loose and should easily peel off at this point.

To seed the tomatoes, halve the tomatoes and scrape out the tomato flesh with a spoon.

Depending on the amount of tomatoes you need to process, continue to process the tomatoes in the boiling water and ice bath.
