Throw all the ingredients into your sauce pan and then simmer for two hours, stirring it to keep it from sticking to the bottom.

You may want to add a cup of sweet white onions to the mix, or even something like corn or green peppers. It all depends on what you want to use the diced peppers for. For instance, if you are someone who likes the idea of having spicy diced tomatoes on hand, a few slices of jalapeno peppers might be a great addition. Diced tomatoes do very well when you are looking to make the Italian side dish, bruschetta, which contains yellow peppers and onions as well.
