Choose ripe, but firm tomatoes for the best results. Overripe tomatoes will be more difficult to handle. The blanching time will vary depending on the ripeness of the tomatoes. Keep a close eye on them and remove them as soon as the skins start to peel. Make sure the ice bath is very cold to stop the cooking process quickly. Tomato Concasse is best used fresh. If you need to store it, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
