Peppers and Tomatoes image

This is a tasty, simple recipe to use up the bumper crop of peppers and tomatoes everyone I know is enjoying. This is great alone or you can add it to stews, soups, casseroles or any other dish where it might need some flavor. Add a chopped eggplant or a big chopped onion if you have one. Freezes very well. The recipe says to seed the tomatoes but sometimes if I'm in a hurry I don't.
