Delicious. I omitted the sugar, used some big red Jersey tomatoes that were about to go off and a handful of dried red chili peppers that had been floating around the netherworld of the spice cabinet and it turned out amazing. A gorgeous gazpacho color, and the taste gave the Carnitas (Kim Severson) a serious run for the money.
