Fresh Tomato Sauce

20 ripe plum tomatoes sliced and seeded                        
1/3 cup olive oil                                              
1 clove mashed garlic                                          
Pinch crushed red pepper flake                                 
6-8 fresh basil leaves                                         
Pinch salt                   

In a pot put olive oil, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and 20 sliced & seeded tomatoes.  Cook over low heat for 1 hour and periodically mash tomatoes with a masher.  Add fresh basil leaves after one hour and cook on low for another 20-30 minutes.  You could also use 2 large cans of whole plum tomatoes instead of 20 fresh tomatoes.  If sauce if to tart, add a pinch of sugar.  Sauce is ready to serve after 1 1/2 hours, you can also cook on medium heat for 1 hour for a quicker serving time.

Easy Pulled Pork

1 pork butt or shoulder                                        
1/2 can ginger ale                                             
1 peeled & sliced onion  
                                     
Trim the fat off the pork.  Place pork in crock pot,  put sliced onion over pork, pour ginger ale over pork.  Cook on low-medium heat for 12 hours.  Pork will fall off the bone when done.  Once pork is done, take it out of crock pot & place on a plate.  Let pork cool for 15-20 minutes.  Clean out crock pot.  Pull pork off the bone and put back into the crock pot.  Put your favorite BBQ sauce over the pork & mix.  I prefer Sweet Baby Rays.
