when canning cherry tomatoes do u need to take the skin off like u have to with regular tomatoes?

Question

with regular size tomatoes u have to dip them in hot water for 30-60 seconds then peel just wondering if u need to do the same with cherry tomatoes where the skin is tuffer..

Answer 1

Yes you do, otherwise the skin would fall off anyway and it would probably ruin your whole batch.

Answer 2

No, you dont have to peel cherry tomatos. Slice them in half and dip the flesh in salt, they are tasty that way! They will last longer with skin than without, unless you want to make an extremly sweet Katsup!

Answer 3

yes if you are canning them you need to!they usually are easier than the big ones!
