Slice onion and cook in water with a very little red sweet pepper or chili pepper, until soft. Use no more water than necessary to cook the onion soft. Add to boiling tomatoes in about the proportion of a tablespoonful of the cooked onion to a cup of the boiling tomatoes. Add a very small pinch of salt and four or five times as much sugar, and a little butter. Marion Brown Corneliussen, University of Illinois.

Tomato Sauce

Fry some sliced bacon, then drain the bacon and use the fat to fry some onion, stirring all the time. Fry until golden brown and soft. At the same time have tomatoes with a little sweet pepper or chili pepper, simmering. Crush the bacon very small, add to the tomatoes, and then add the fried onion while hot. Be sure the tomatoes and onions are both hot when they are put together.
