About Recipe

The tomatoes have finally arrived here in Minnesota! Yes, that sentence deserves an exclamation point. It’s always a long wait for me throughout the year for these babies. I love tomatoes, but the sad store-bought versions just won’t do. So, I can or freeze as much as I can to make it through the winter, then patiently wait for them to appear at the farmers markets the next summer. Every year I somehow trick myself into thinking that they should appear earlier than they really do. Tomatoes need time and lots of sun. I have a few plants in my yard again this year that are coming along nicely, but the bulk of my preserving comes from the farmers markets, where I can buy bushel upon bushel of these little red gems.
