Slow Cooker
Sweet Cherry Tomato Sauce
- Serves 6
Author Notes
Ok, this is my first original recipe on the website. I don't really have a name for it. It's really just a sauce for me. It's just a combination of my favorite items. I use this sauce on pizza dough and I also use this sauce over sliced eggplant and mozzarella cheese in a dish that is then placed in the over to bake. This is going to sound a lot like Marcella Hazan's recipe because I prefer to cook with butter instead of oil for most of my cooking. I just use butter but i use a combination of tomatoes and I love to use Vidalia onions because I first cooked this sauce when I lived in the South and Vidalia onions are very prevalent there. —Karin Ward

- Add the Tomatoes, both cherry and plum, balsamic vinegar and Black Pepper. Cook until the sauce begins to come together which takes about 20-30 minutes. The longer you cook the sauce the better it will taste just make certain that there is enough moisture.
- This sauce can be used on Pizza dough if you are making pizza, although it is a little chunky. Or you can place this sauce over eggplant and mozzarella and place it in the oven to bake.
