When boiling, strain into the mixture the hot tomatoes, add one-half teaspoon of salt, one- quarter teaspoon of pepper. Cook until boil- ing, smooth and thick, which result can only be obtained by constant stirring. Use this with macaroni or rice, around omelettes, corned beef hash, chops or steak.
