For sauce you don't peel them, that's too much like work... instead put
them through a food mill... removes the skin and the seeds, and wastes
nothing. But first remove the cores, rough chop, and simmer for like
20 minutes... it's near impossible to put raw tomatoes through a food
mill. Or get one of those dago style food mills, the type with the
removeable cones that can be used for berries, etc. too.
