1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Preparation:
Core tomatoes; place in boiling water for about 15 to 20 seconds, then into ice water to cool quickly; peel. Cut tomatoes in wedges. In Crock Pot, combine all ingredients.

Serves 6.
I left out the chopped green pepper and I used 16 tomatoes but kept all the rest of the receipe the same as I don't like too much spicey. I ended up with a quart of stewed tomatoes. Oh yes, I only put a pinch of sugar.
