Carmen's Stewed Tomatoes

Carmen Waldron’s Stewed Tomatoes

Salt Lake City

4 quarts tomatoes, peeled

6 to 7 chopped celery stalks

2 chopped green peppers

6 to 8 tablespoons sugar

4 teaspoons salt

1 large onion chopped

4 or 5 whole cloves (don’t use ground cloves)

I coarsely chop the vegetables by the way.

Bring to boil and lower heat and stew for around 30 minutes.

This is a very tasty way of stewing tomatoes. It is a little sweet and the cloves give it a nice twist. Carmen told me her mom always made stewed tomatoes this way, so she had always done them that way.
