Fresh Tomato Gravy

My Aunt Beulah use to make this to serve over pan fried steak ( just steak dredged in flour and fried ).. It is very good !!!

 

4 ripe tomatoes, sliced
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. sugar
4 tbsp. meat drippings ( grease that you fried the steak in )
to taste salt, pepper 

       In a saucepan, cook tomatoes in 2 cups of water until tender.  Set aside.  Using an iron skillet, add meat drippings and heat until hot.  Add flour, salt and pepper, stirring until it makes a smooth brown paste.  Slowly add tomatoes and sugar.  Let boil until it looks like gravy.  Serve over hot biscuits or rice.  You can make this by using canned tomatoes or tomato paste.
