Peeling tomatoes
Want to peel Princess tomatoes? Use a knife to score a small cross on the bottom of each tomato, then briefly dip them in boiling water followed by cold water. The skin will come off easily.
Pairing tomatoes with herbs
Basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary and parsley pair perfectly with the flavour of the Princess tomato. For a fresher combination, you can also use mint or chives. Add dried herbs a little earlier when preparing hot dishes, and add fresh herbs just before serving.
Ripen tomatoes faster
Are your tomatoes still too firm to eat? Help them ripen faster by placing an apple next to them for a few hours or up to a day. Apples produce ethylene, which speeds up the ripening process in tomatoes.
