Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of food-processed tomatoes (approximately 3-4 cups of whole tomatoes).

  1. Place chopped tomatoes in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt. Let stand 10 minutes. Place in a colander, rinse with cold water and drain.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
