sure why not
no because they have skin
It is a canned tomato product where the tomatoes were cooked with onion and celery and sometimes spices before canning.
Sure, but it might have a slightly different flavor.
Yes, you can freeze stewed tomatoes.
yes you can. that would be better
Yes. You need to peel the tomatoes. Put them in very hot water for a few minutes and the skin will come off very easily. Now, cut them up in small pieces and boil them in one cup of water until they are soft. (That's stewed tomatoes.)
Yes, stewed tomatoes or picante sauce can be substituted in equal amounts for any recipe that calls for tomato juice or ketchup. My family likes to put their ketchup on the meat loaf after it is cooked, so using tomato juice or ketchup in the recipe was to much, but the stewed tomatoes give the dish a milder flavor. The picante sauce spices it up.
Stewed tomatoes are cooked or stewed and diced tomatoes are cut into pieces but all tomatoes remain tomatoes no matter what you do to them. Not true at all. During processing of diced tomatoes a firmer less ripe tomato is used to hold up for a smaller cut, while stewed tomatoes are from fruit that is vine ripened longer and much more flavorful. Different tomatoes and lengths of ripening vary for all canned products which affects flavor.
Stewed tomatoes have more juice and bits of tomato that aren't in the paste. It would change the moisture content and the texture of the dish. I don't think it would work out.
homemade chunky chips!
use the same recipe as used with Roma Tomatoes for canning
