Suzie’s Version of Red Fox Inn Tomato Pudding Print Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 3 Cans Whole Peeled or Diced Tomatoes, we prefer Muir Glen
  • 8 Slices Whole Wheat Toast, cubed
  • 1 Stick Butter
  • 1 Hand full of Brown Sugar

Preparation:

  1. Smash the tomatoes thoroughly through a colander with the juice running into a heavy 5 Qt. enamel coated Dutch oven, or other heavy duty stainless pot. Add the cubed toast, butter and brown sugar.
  2. Cook on medium, stirring frequently, approx. 2 -3 hours, until the whole dish becomes thick. The longer it cooks, the better it is.
  3. Serve as a side dish to turkey dinner, or meatloaf.
