How To Easily Peel Peaches/Tomatoes

This Summer I had made three different peach jams with fresh peaches, and some pasta sauce out of garden grown tomatoes. I learned how to easily peel them, via the internet, so here it is...

1. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil
2. Cut a shallow X into the bottom of the fruit, try to just puncture the skin
3. Plop the fruit into the water (2-4 at a time, depending on the size of your pot)
4. Leave them in for 60 seconds or so, the more fruit the longer the time
5. Plop the fruit into an ice bath to cool
6. Peel off the skins lickity split!

Method two for the Tomatoes
If you want a 'roasted' taste to your tomatoes, you can try the following method.
1. Turn on oven broiler
2. Cut tomatoes in half
3. Place tomatoes cut side down on cookie sheet
4. Place in oven until skins are starting to brown
5. Remove from oven and wait until cool, skins will pull right off.
