14 oz. can crushed tomatoes

Directions:
Wash peppers and dry thoroughly. Remove seeds and ribs and cut into 3/4-inch slices. In a stock pot, add the cut peppers, oil and salt. Stir to coat the peppers with oil. Cook for about 20 minutes on low heat. Add the tomatoes, garlic, basil, sugar, vinegar and oregano. Stir often, so tomato mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pot. When tender, ladle the peppers into a sterilized 1-quart Mason jar and screw the lid on. Let stand until it reaches room temperature. Store in the refrigerator. (Or immediately make pepper sandwiches on Italian bread, or as a topping for sausage, beef or meatball sandwiches.)
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe is from Italy and is very old. When the pepper harvest was ready, the women in the village would make this condiment in very large batches. Every meatless Friday, they would mix their preserved peppers with eggs to make a "pepper and egg" sandwich. It is so delicious that you can just about put it on anything!
