    Well. I did the wholefood blitz thing and the skinning sieving thing and I must admit I preferred the whole tomato blitz effort. I think the seeds must act as a thickener.

    I was referring to frozen plums and not plum tomatoes when I said about removing the skins.I suppose I should have started another thread,I am sorry if you misunderstood my post.

    I use a bowl of cold water with the frozen ones.

    Yes, but I'm wondering if a modified method will allow cold water to also be used when peeling fresh (not frozen) tomatoes, of any size. ;)
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I don't see how. If it worked, the skins would peel off in the rain.

    Re-read my first post again.  In other words:
    • Take fresh tomato
    • Put in freezer for x minutes until only the outer skin has frozen
    • Dunk in water
    • Peel

    Sorry😖
    Worth a try if you're in a hurry. 
    I'd be interested in your timings
