SLOW COOKER TOMATO SAUCE WITH FRESH TOMATOES
With an overload of garden fresh tomatoes I wanted to make a homemade tomato sauce and then this recipe was sent from another web site and it sounds like just what I was wanting. Love the ease of crock pot cooking! Some reviews that came with it suggested to increase the cayenne pepper but as with all spices I think that would be a matter of taste. I ended up putting the finished sauce in zip lock freezer bags in 1 cup quantity and freezing and this worked well. Now I always have fresh tomato sauce on hand when needed

SLOW-COOKER TOMATO COMPOTE
This savory compote - a typically sweet, slow-simmered fruit preserve - is a delicious way to eat cherry tomatoes, especially those that are on the verge of being too soft. But it's also a great way to intensify the flavor of middling supermarket cherry tomatoes in the winter. Either way, the sweet-tart tomatoes can build super-quick meals: Put them on top of ricotta or avocado toast, or squish them into a grilled cheese. Toss them with hot or cold pasta. Use the oil and juices in salad dressings and the tomatoes in the salad itself. The compote can be used right away, but it's best the next day and will keep in the fridge for at least a week. Feel free to throw in any hardy, woody herbs you like, but don't add very delicate herbs like basil, chives or dill before cooking. You can add a handful of those softer herbs before serving, if you like.

Tips:
- Use ripe, fresh tomatoes: This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well and rinse them before using.
- Roast your tomatoes before adding them to the slow cooker: This will help to concentrate their flavor and make your sauce even more delicious. To roast your tomatoes, simply halve them and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, or until they are slightly browned and softened.
- Add plenty of garlic and onions: These two ingredients are essential for a flavorful tomato sauce. Be sure to chop them finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the sauce.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will give your sauce a complex and interesting flavor. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes.
- Let your sauce simmer for at least 4 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer your sauce, the better it will taste.
