 kkcapricorn says: Tomatoes are a great addition to bean and vegetable soups. Enjoy a classic Italian salad-sliced onions, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese drizzled with olive oil. Combine chopped onions, tomatoes, and chili peppers for an easy to make salsa dip. Purée tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and scallions together in a food processor and season with herbs and spices of your choice to make the refreshing cold soup, gazpacho. Add tomato slices to sandwiches and salads. To keep things colorful, use yellow, green and purple tomatoes in addition to red ones. ~~~~ Most delicious are Jersey tomatoes that you pick from your garden, wash, and bite. so sweet..... Guess what I'm doing tomorrow Kappy?? Canning tomatoes  They can be red, yellow, orange, green, purple, or brown in color.They can be black too. Russian Black tomatoes were taste test winners in 2005. They supposedly are so sweet and taste so good, that they "make the angels sing.", but they sure ain't pretty  http://froebutikken.dk/Graphics/Products/32_m.jpg You can get striped tomatoes too. .  My mouth is watering. I am fasting for a blood test. ~~~~~~~~~~ TNCBT -- why don't you give the black tomato a taste test? ~~~~~~~~~~~ Debs -- it's "tomorrow" enjoy the canning Wish I were there. Now you've gone and done it, kkc! I wasn't planning on ranting about tomatoes, but now I can't help myself. It's your own fault! . I am a sucker for growing tomatoes! I already have a lot of different species, some heirlooms too, and I have ordered the Black Russian seeds for next year, along with Eva Purple Ball and the Principe Borghese. (Now''s a good time to buy seeds, btw, at the end of the season they're real cheap.) I, of course, have all of the run-of-the-mill's like Geminis, Tiny Tim's, Cherrys etc, but if you want some really, really good, sweet and beautiful tomatoes, try the Golden Sunrise. OMG, they are the colour of a rising sun, orangy-yellow and each plant yields a... Btw, if you don't have canner (I don't) they are real easy to freeze. Just rinse them, cut out the stem and chuck them in the freezer, skin and all. When you need them, just take out the amount you need and hold them under hot water for a bit, and the skin slips right off and they're ready to use. It couldn't be easier. . TNCBT-- sadly I am no longer physically capable of gardening. When I was still working, one of the nurses in the X-ray dept would bring me some from her garden. They were the sweetest I ever had. The Farmers' market is better than the supermarket, but nothing like home grown. So now I spend my time inciting others to rant about tomatoes.  Just be glad this clip isn't about carrots, or we'd be here all day. Hey Kappy, I decided to do apple butter instead.  I just don't seem to enjoy raw tomatoes as much as i used to, but i love a nice ripe tomato sliced up with some spices and cheese on top, and baked. Delicious! Btw, why does tomato have no e, but tomatoes does? |
