I use a food processor to grind tomatoes to a pulp..skin and all. I don't mind the skin, and in fact, for me I like it. I make salsa the same way. I never use a recipe for it though, it just depends on what I have on hand out of the garden. I use more tomatoes than any veggie and processing the whole tomato means I can even drink it if I want. a little tomato skin isn't a bother at all to me. guess it's a preference!
