In the kitchen by Frankie

Ro-tel tomatoes are a popular addition to many recipes here. A 10 oz can costs about $1.25, though! I found this recipe that works well as a substitute. This is a h.o.t recipe. I recommend canning in 8 oz jars. Any more in a meal would be much to spicy for me. However, I had large peppers. You'll have to decide how much is right for your family. Enjoy!

Ro-Tel Tomatoes
1 gallon ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 large green bell peppers, chopped
8 hot peppers, chopped (I ended up using 6)
3/4 cup vinegar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons salt

Mix together and cook 45 minutes. Put into hot sterilized jars. Seal and process in hot water bath for 10 minutes. Makes about 18 1/2 pints.
