  • 1) Pour boiling water over the tomatoes, peel them, then run them through a meat grinder. Bring to a boil and cook over low heat for 1 hour. 2) While the tomatoes cook, slice the onion into half-rings and cut the carrots into thin strips. Sauté the onion and carrots for 10 minutes. 3) Seed and stem the bell peppers, then cut them up. 4) Add the onion and carrots to the cooking tomatoes, bring to a boil, and reduce the heat. 5) Add the chopped bell peppers, sugar, salt, and vinegar. 6) Bring back to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, over the lowest heat for 15 minutes. 7) Ladle into sterilized jars and seal. Turn the jars upside down, wrap them in a towel or blanket, and leave them wrapped, neck-down, until completely cool.
