Once the tomatoes become warm or cool down, then peel them. slice off the eye part from the tomatoes. then directly chop the tomatoes above the blender jar so that the juices drop directly inside the blender jar. if you cannot do this, then chop the tomatoes on a chopping board and add everything to the blender including the juices. blend the tomatoes to a smooth puree.keep aside.
