Well...that was a lot of small tomatoes to peel, but I finally gave in and made this. Waiting for it to gel right now...and from my test tastin' I have to say it's "finger-lickin' good". More than anything else it tastes like strawberry preserves. I didn't have quite 2 cups of chopped tomatoes so it seems a bit loose, but I'm sure it will be good. Thanks for posting this. As a result, for the first time in my life I learned how to peel a tomato. One of the sites I visited on the web said to make a shallow "x" on the bottom of the tomato before it went into the boiling water for 30 seconds. (Then the tomatoes were drained and dumped into ice water that I prepared beforehand.) That "x" made it very easy to strip off the peel. Isabel

How do you peel the tomatoes easily? I will be using small plum tomatoes. Isabel

Sounds fascinating. I have tons of Juliet (small plum) tomatoes. Would love to give this a try. Isabel
