Southern Stewed Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spray an oven proof casserole with cooking spray and set aside.
• Put the tomatoes with their juices into the casserole and cut up into chunks.
• Add the sugar and stir.
• Cut the butter into chunks and add to tomato mixture.
• Stir in the stale bread cubes-enough to make a thick mixture.
• Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the mixture is very thick.
• Cover with foil if it appears to be browning too quickly towards the end.

Steps:

• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, and blanch the tomatoes in it for 30 seconds. Next, plunge them into cold water to stop the cooking. Peel, halve, and seed the tomatoes, and cut each half in half. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, and add the celery, onion, and garlic. Cover, and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, and lemon zest. Recover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and mixture is thick, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in the dill, salt, and pepper, and serve. Enjoy!

Steps:

• To peel the tomatoes, place them in boiling water for 1 minute and then immediately transfer to cold water. Peel and quarter tomatoes, and place in a large saucepan with the salt. Slowly simmer over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
