Peel the tomatoes and core them. You peel them by dropping them into
boiling water for about 30 seconds or so and then into a bowl of cold
water. snip

AAMOI, why do they have to be peeled?

If you don't peel them, IME the skins slide off in cooking and turn into
nasty slithery bits that either get stuck in your teeth or the back of your
throat! If you look at canned tomatoes, they're peeled, too.
