I wanted to see if stewed tomatoes are still as discusting as when my mother would force me to eat them as a child. To my surprise, I enjoyed this dish! my mother always used white bread, but I only had 12 grain bread on hand. I halved this recipe, and used only 1 tablespoon sugar. I really liked the 12 grain bread in this, I think I will always use it to make it a tad healthier. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

I made this just as shown in recipe, I thougt it was way too sweet and way too peppery. I will make this recipe again, but cut the amount of sugar and pepper way back.

Not too bad. I reduced the sugar to 1/4 c and it was still way too sweet. The bread gives it a very "bready" taste so I think I'll try saltines or a mix of both next time.

Would b a five star but i had to alter the recipe. I cut down the sugar to 2 tablespoons, and it turned out perfect.

This is the second time I have made this dish and each time it is better than the last time. My brother used to make this when he had his restaurant, but this is so much better. Only thing I did was cut the recipe in half. My husband liked it very much also. Makes a great side dish for fried fish.

I just made this for my mother and mother in law, who used to make this growing up. They thought it was the best they had ever eaten. I revised a little, 1/4 c sugar, will use even less next time. I had one can of diced tomatoes with garlic, basil and oregano. It added just the right amount of seasoning.

This recipe only received fair reviews from my wife and dinner guests. Most of them were probably used to savory stewed tomoatos and said they found it too sweet.
