Default Removing tomato seeds

Depends on what you want to make. I like to have pureed tomatoes (not
the canned "puree" that is usually reconstituted tomato paste).

I take a large can of whole tomatoes in juice, and put the whole thing
in the blender. Blend the heck out of it, the pour it into a sieve over
a bowl. Push it through with a rubber spatula. This is easy because
it's pretty liquid at this point, you aren't doing much more than
straining out the seeds.

Now you have a bunch of tomato goodness that's great for sauces,
punching up canned tomato soup, whatever.
