Core and chop tomatoes into chunks (If using cherry tomatoes-halve, romas-halve) and toss into pot on the stove as you go. Add garlic and seasoning. Simmer 1-2 hours, occasionally pressing tomatoes against side of pan with wooden spoon. Add brown sugar to taste. Add tomato paste (if using) to thicken. Can be made in a crockpot-cook on low for 6-8 hours depending on amount. Cool and freeze for summer taste in winter.
