Ingredients
Instructions
- Empty cans of Italian Style tomatoes, including juice, into a large heavy pot.
- Boil uncovered over medium heat for an hour or more, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching on the bottom.
- Season with salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.
- When most of the liquid is gone and tomatoes are mostly broken up, add brown sugar, adjusting the amount for taste.
- Crumble a slice of bread (with crusts cut off) into the mixture.
- This should thicken the puree sufficiently; if not, add more bread crumbs.
- Avoid adding bread chunks like in scalloped tomatoes.
