Beautiful cake and beautiful smile of granddaughter.
I also agree that I do not like the skins on my tomatoes! But, if you are feeling lazy, jam is a good way to go because the tomato cooks down so much, the skins are not detectable.
For the relish, I'm going to give your method a try!
Ketchup is also a good way to go without having to skin the tomatoes because everything will be put in the blender.
I always can the larger tomatoes which are peeled first by using the same method (minus the squeezing). I'm looking forward to giving the cherry tomatoes a try at canning.
