10. Preheat skillet/pan while you are peeling the tomatoes.
11. Place bacon strip and butter with heat set at medium. As you peel the tomatoes, give them a good squeeze to mash them and release the juice and place them into the skillet/pan. Add pepper and sugar to taste. Sugar will cut down on the acidity of the tomatoes.
12. When the tomatoes have cooked and the juice is half gone, take sheet out of oven and add a bit of the bacon grease. Turn up the heat on the skillet/pan and cook until tomatoes have thickened and most of the juice is gone.
