How to Make Slow Cooker Stewed Tomatoes

  1. Wash and core approximately 2 lbs of ripe tomatoes.
  2. Blanch the tomatoes: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add tomatoes and cook for 15-20 seconds. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, peel the tomatoes.
  4. Cut the peeled tomatoes into 1-inch wedges.
  5. Place the tomato wedges in your slow cooker.
  6. Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil; 1/4 cup olive oil; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; and 1 bay leaf to the slow cooker.
  7. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices.
  9. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
