Ma Perry's Stewed Tomatoes

Step 1

Heat tomatoes in a small saucepan with sugar,salt and pepper to boil, then to a slow simmer for 8-10 minutes to reduce just a bit.  Stir in butter. Tear up a piece or two of bread (any sort you have on hand… rolls, buns, etc.)  Stir into tomatoes so the bread absorbs the juice.

Step 2

Serve as is or over navy beans, field peas or greens!
