Blanch and peel first. You could also stew them and can them as a

Even turn them into ketchup. Anyone tried their hand at this?
Every gardener should make ketchup once in their life. You take a half
a bushel of fresh tomatoes, some vinegar and salt, and a bunch of
expensive sugar and spices. Cook them down for about 6 hours (Careful!
Don't let it burn!) When you're all done, you have a pint or two of
ketchup that's almost as good as the 20 ounce bottle of store-bought
ketchup you could have bought for about $1. HTH :-)

While I've never made Ketchup, I totally understand the concept. ;-)
With what I have to pay for water here in the city, it's cheaper to buy
veggies, but there just is no substitute for the flavor of home grown
tomatoes!
