Looks awesome...can't wait to try this recipe. Still waiting for ripe tomatoes, though.
It appears you peeled the tomatoes in batch #1 and you did not peel the tomatoes in batch #2. Was there any difference in flavor?
I just picked up a tomato strainer. This website has some good deals (I am in no way affiliated with the store):
