Note: This recipe is devised with Roma tomatoes and other tomatoes grown for cooking. To adapt to juicier, slicing varieties, follow these steps: Place chopped tomatoes in kettle and cook three to four minutes to release moisture. Strain and reserve the juices. Set aside the chopped flesh.

Boil the tomato juice to reduce by two-thirds. Return chopped tomatoes to kettle with the cooked juices. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 1 ½ hours or until desired consistency is reached.
