3 c. tomato liquid (saved from above)
3. c. chicken broth
3 Tbsp. tomato paste
1/4 tsp. groud allspice
1 can (5 oz.) evaporated milk

1. First, preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.

2. Spray the baking sheet with nonstick spray and arrange the tomatoes in a single layer and sprinkle with brown sugar and onion.
3. Don’t forget to save your tomato liquid–there is quite a bit!
4. Bake 25-30 minutes or until they start to get dry and brown.

5. Let tomatoes cool slightly and then finely chop.
6. Put all other ingredients in a crockpot (except evaporated milk, basil, and salt and pepper).
