Stewed Tomatoes

---

Love these stewed tomatoes better than the ones you buy at the store. Even my husband who doesn't like stewed tomatoes, commented on how good they were. Even though it says to just core & chop tomatoes, i will peel them in the next batch that i make, and i just sliced my peppers & onions with a slicer into rings instead of chopping. Cooking time does not include canning time.
