    13 medium whole (2-3/5" dia) Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average
    1.5 stalk, large (11"-12" long) Celery, raw chopped small
    1/2 cup, chopped Onions, raw chopped small
    3/4 cup, chopped Green Peppers (bell peppers) chopped small

    1 Tbsp. Salt
    1 1/2 tsp Parsley, dried

Tips

You can leave out the celery or onion if desired and adjust the salt or sugar to taste.


Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Rinse the tomatoes and leave whole for now.
When the water boils plunge the tomatoes into the water and cook for 1 minute.
Plunge them into a large pot of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Peel the skins off. Dice the cooled tomatoes up. Place the tomatoes into a medium sized saucepan. Do NOT drain (the juices make the best sauce!). Add the celery, onions, and pepper to the pot. Bring all to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook covered for 30 minutes.
When all the veggies are tender, turn off heat and let cool. Either freeze in a Ziploc baggie or can the stewed tomatoes.

    Last time I cooked tomatoes down for sauce, any sugar made it too sweet. I don't use sugar now. - 8/3/20
