Tomato Relish

 Currently there are nearly 22 pounds of tomatoes in this house. I have to ask myself some serious questions. 

When we harvest at Freshwinds, if campers are around they usually get a pound, carried off in sunhats as make-shift containers. Hopefully they will add a bit of salad to the bbq. 

At home the preserving is in full swing with some for the freezer ....

Some are turned into ketchup .....

Some have been stuffed, some are sliced up with a drizzle of oil and goats cheese crumbled on top. Delicious.

This year we have grown 

1. Costaluto Fiorentino


The biggest so far has been 8 and half ounces.


2. Akron


3. Princepe Borghese


4. Ailsa Craig


We love the big beefy ones for salad.
We are having great satisfaction from the glorious harvest of tomatoes but it takes time to deal with them all.

  1. Lovely photo of you with that amazing harvest!
    Blight has hit our allotment hard this year, so not many more toms for us from the plot, but hopefully Joanne’s greenhouse will produce for a bit longer :-)

    1. So sorry to hear that. Our cucumbers have a virus. I've pulled a lot out already and I'm burning them where I can.
