The cherry tomatoes are sungold from seed. I will definitely plant those again - they're wonderful! The larger tomatoes are brandywine from seed, and early girl and better boy from the store. I'm not impressed with the taste of any of them compared to the taste of the cherry tomatoes. I think next year I'll do the sungold again, and some different full-sized tomatoes.
I've been drying and freezing, but it's becoming apparent that I need to learn how to can, so I can save some of these tomatoes. The source of all wisdom (the internet) leads me to believe that it isn't difficult. This weekend's project perhaps?
You won't have any trouble at all canning your tomatoes, Jordan. I think I originally followed the basic instructions in a Ball Blue Book of canning and freezing. I always made mine "stewed" tomatoes by adding onions and celery right in with the tomatoes. That way they have more flavor to add to whatever you use them in. Go for it, girl!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! Tomatoes are fool-proof - all you need is a canning kit, some quart or pint jars and a couple of pans. We will review it tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteYup, if I can make jelly, you can can tomatoes. Now, if my tomatoes would only turn red, I can get going on that as well!
ReplyDeleteCanning is so easy, especially tomatoes! And they taste SO good in the middle of winter.
ReplyDeleteIf you're doing tomatoes, you don't even need a canner, just cook them up and grab the jars and lids... Even I can do it!~
