TOMATO SAUCE IN FLORIDA

 Inverness Fresh Market often has baskets of tomatoes for $1 a basket to get rid of those that might spoil.  They are never very pock marked.

I bought four baskets and used all but three tomatoes.  Those I put up on the shelf for rippening and sllicing.

Put a small amount of water in the slow cooker.

Cut tomatoes in very small pieces and add them to the water.  Add parsley, onion powder and a bit of garlic powder.

Add two small cans of tomato paste,

stir it all up.

Cook on the high 4 hour setting and when 4 hours is up, stir again.  Then put on the high 6 hour setting for an hour or more.

Very good diced tomato sauce.  It could be blended to make it smoother.  We like it the way it is.
