Directions:

1. Peel the tomatoes by soaking them in boiling water for one minute. Gently pull away the skin.
2. Place tomatoes in a large pot and add the remaining ingredients.
3. Cover and boil gently for 15 minutes, until tomatoes are tender.
4. Serve with croutons.
5. I like my stewed tomatoes with toast and butter.

I gave this 5 stars. My family loves this recipe! The first time I made this was the summer of 2007 with fresh tomatoes from the Farmers Market and it was yummy. This recipe taste just like the Stewed Tomatoes K-Mart Family Restaurant serves. The copy of the recipe I have is slightly different it does not call for green pepper. The sugar is 1-2 Tbl. I add 1/4 cup chopped onion. When I made these tonight I used 8 small tomatoes and Splenda for the sugar. Overall this is a great recipe! Thanks for posting such a great recipe!

I enjoyed this recipe. It makes a good healthy side dish. The sugar adds a really nice sweet flavor to the tomatoes. Thanks for sharing!
