Step 3

In the meantime, prepare the tomato jam. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the tomatoes in batches using a slotted spoon and cook gently for 1 to 2 minutes until the skin starts to peel. Remove the tomatoes from the water, plunge into cold water, let cool slightly, and peel carefully.
