Recipe

• 3 peel tomatoes and garlic. i blanch my tomatoes til the skins crack and cool in cold water, then peel off the skin.
• 4 in a food processor, process tomatoes and garlic until they're almost smooth.
• 5 in a medium pot, combine pepper mixture and all other ingredients.
• 6 over medium heat, cook mixture until it reaches the consistency you want. (it thickens as it cooks).
• 7 let cool and pour into air tight storage containers.

• 9 if you are planning to use this for venison, add some italian dressing to the mix!
