the beauty of this recipe is that you can put a bounty of peeled and quartered fresh whole tomatoes into the slow cooker with a few other ingredients, walk away for a few hours and after a brief stovetop simmer to eliminate extra liquid, you end up with a brightly flavored tomato sauce.Source unknown
