Steps:

  • Wash, rinse, drain and core the fresh firm tomatoes.

  • Remove the cover and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are mushy.
  • Put the tomatoes through a food mill or sieve to remove the skins and seed.
  • Return the pulp to the kettle and cook until almost as thick as catsup.
