Preparation

Step 1

Add tomatoes and sugar in a saucepan. Cook over low heat stirring frequently - about every 5 - 10 minutes - for approx. 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The tomatoes will cook down to a very thick consistency and turn a deep red color. Add plenty of pepper and approx. 1 teaspoon of salt just before serving. The more pepper you add the more pronounced the spicy / sweet distinction in the taste.
Serve as a side dish, spoon over biscuits, serve over rice or mashed potatoes. The possibilities are endless.
Our favorite is just using them as a side dish.
