This is a nice recipe and the thing is that in the winter time when I still enjoy good tomatoes they are never as good as in the summer. Greenhouse tomatoes raised inside do NOT have the flavor component needed. The thing about can tomatoes, if you buy a good brand, they pick them at their peak so they are still flavorful and I actually prefer them in the winter to what I can get at the market.

But like you said fresh tomatoes in the summer are best, but this is nice recipe to have on hand.
