The title of this post is very ironic as our tomato crop was so poor this year, we just had them in salads. Last week end I got tomato envy, dining at friends who regularly produce tons of them! Green, yellow, red, chocolatey in all shapes and forms their home grown garden tomatoes made a beautiful centrepiece in which we all happily “digged into”. They had made tomato ketchup, tomato sauce etc… A lot of delicious goodies I can only dream of! Yes, tomato envy . . . definitely 🙁
I have great childhood memories, remembering my mum frantically freezing or canning our garden tomatoes so we can enjoy them during the Winter months. While this year I can only sadly reflect on our own predicament, I thought that anyone shifting through a heap of home grown garden tomatoes might enjoy this round up of tips and recipes. A great week end job as tomato season is coming to an end.
