Then, with a slotted spoon, I transferred them to a bowl, and peeled each one, and crushed them with a regular old mashed potato mashing weapon.

Crushed Tomatoes

This turned out to be a lot easier and a whole lot less messy than pressing them through a strainer.  It tastes just the same, and isn’t any wetter.  I’m very happy with the results.
