Ingredients

2 28-oz. cans diced tomatoes, drained

OR

7 cups fresh tomato cubed

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup bourbon or apple cider

1/4 cup olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp. dried oregano, crushed

1/2 tsp. cracked black pepper

Preparation

In a saucepan combine tomatoes, vinegar, bourbon, olive oil, garlic, oregano, and pepper.

(I used a cast iron frying pan so the juices evaporated well)

Bring to boiling; reduce heat.

Simmer, uncovered, 35 minutes or until juices are nearly evaporated.

Cool to room temperature.
