Plant the tomatoes in deep holes with black plastic to hold down weeds.

Wait for the tomatoes to grow until they are ripe, which takes until August.

Harvest the ripe plum tomatoes from the garden.

Cut the tomatoes in half to prepare for cooking.

Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil.

Add the halved tomatoes to the boiling water and cook for about 5-10 minutes until the skins begin to shrivel.

Drain the tomatoes and let them cool enough to handle, then peel off the skins.
