We're in the middle of a glut of toms - only Shirley and GD this year.
Up to yesterday, we were blanching, peeling, cutting out the white etc, and as usual it was taking ages, so after yet another haul, I did as Klefters suggested. "I'd bung 'em all in the zizzer and blast them"!
As Aunty says, the texture improves, and there's much more 'bite', so it's a winner as far as I'm concerned!
