Southern Style Tomatoes

1. 1

   Empty cans of tomatoes including juice into a large heavy pot.

2. 2

   Boil uncovered over medium heat for an hour or more, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching on bottom.

3. 3

   Season with salt, pepper and oregano to taste.

4. 4

   When most of the liquid is gone and tomatoes are mostly broken up, add brown sugar, adjusting amount for taste.

5. 5

   Finally, crumble a slice of bread (with crusts cut off) into the mixture.

6. 6

   This should thicken the puree sufficiently; if not, add more bread crumbs.

7. 7

   Don't add bread chunks as in scalloped tomatoes.
