My Mother started making this in 1965 and it was the only way I could 'try' to eat tomatoes. Now I love it, make it so often but discovered, especially when making it for other people, ya have to love tomatoes. This is adapted from Make It Now- Bake it Later #1

    Put cloves, peppercorns and bay leaf into cheesecloth bag. Cook tomatoes undrained with cheesecloth and a dash of salt on top of stove, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Add onion, sugar, bread and butter. Place in a greased baking dish, 8x8 or 9x9.

    I have made this several ways. For example, putting everything into a baking dish and let it just bake. It doesn't taste as good!
