“The air in Provence is impregnated with the aroma of garlic, which makes it very healthful to breathe.”
Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870)
Slipping the skin off a tomato is easy.... just drop in boiling water for about 15 seconds or so...take out and put into cold (icy) water..this keeps the tomato from cooking. After tomato cools take a knife and the peeling will slip right off. (Not true for unripes tho) Your question about sauce is not so easy... the tools are not spectacular but the time is. It takes almost forever to make tomato sauce and it must be watched arefully... any canning book will have the specifics...tomato juice is one thing that is easy tho... well good luck.
