Tomatoes

Time for tomatoes again.

I didn't think it was going to be a very good year, but I am proved wrong. Tomatoes are growing thick and fast in the greenhouse.

From this....

 to this....

 To these!

The large Marmande variety are the first to ripen, and I have already put several boxes of tomato sauce in the freezer. It is such a good staple and we find that it usually lasts all Winter , depending on the crop. Simple to make , simmered with shallots, garlic if liked and a few Basil leaves. A shot of tomato puree, bubbling gently away till soft, and there you are.
The essence of Tomato will fill your kitchen.
