On one of the cooking shows fire roasted canned tomatoes were used and
recommended. I have tried them and they really are good. They have a slight
smokey taste. I found them in the health food section of the grocery store.
The spaghetti sauce discussion made me think of them.

Easy enough to make at home.. Stick a fork in one end of a ripe tomato
and slowly rotate it over the flame of a gas stove. When the skin
shrinks enough so it's wrinkled and cracked and starting to char , wrap
it in a damp cloth and let it sit for a while to steam and cool. Then
peel it. I often do this under a running faucet. Works with peppers
too..

We've tried them and liked them too!

I've recently used them in chili and in my lasagne(a)! Fantastic!
