How to Make To Prepare Canned Tomatoes For Cooking

  1. Gather your equipment: two medium-sized bowls and a fine-mesh sieve.
  2. Open one or more 28-ounce cans of whole peeled tomatoes.
  3. Gently pour the tomatoes into one bowl, reserving the juice in the second bowl. Use a spoon to help push the tomatoes through the sieve, separating the solids from the juice.
  4. Remove any remaining tomato skins and stem ends. Carefully squeeze the tomatoes over the bowl, allowing the pulp to fall through while retaining the seeds. Continue until only the seeds remain in your hand. Gently add the pulp to the bowl with the reserved juice.
  5. Strain the remaining tomato seed mixture through the fine-mesh sieve into the bowl containing the reserved juice and pulp. Season with a pinch of salt (approximately 1/4 teaspoon per 28-ounce can), if desired. Your perfectly prepared tomatoes are ready to be used in your favorite sauce recipe!
