Maybe there is something to that. I always grow a bunch of these as they are one of my most requested by friends and even customers when I sold last year. They were all buying to make sauce. Yes the skin is thick but a quick hot water bath and cut an end off and the whole skin slips right off. I heard many did this and made salsa as well.
Heavy producer for sure!

Last year, I rinsed them under cold water, tossed them into a zip lock bag and placed them in the freezer. During the winter, if a recipe called for tomatoes or tomato sauce; I would toss a handful of the frozen juliets into the dish while it was cooking. Worked great and no one ever complained about a tough skin or seeds.
