Did You Know......
Heirloom tomatoes just can't be beat for their outstanding flavor. Tomatoes like Green Grape, Stupice, Green Zebra tomato, Brandywine tomatoes, Mortgage Lifter tomato, and Cherokee Purple are some of the many varieties out there.

Heirloom Tomatoes are one of the easiest of the garden varieties to grow, and this is brutally obvious as you will discover that just as fast as you pick them, more have taken their place almost overnight. So what are your options when dealing with such a vast amount of produce? Gallons of spaghetti sauce, salsa, and plenty of other dishes prepared with the bright red and festive fruit. Luckily there are many ways to prepare tomatoes and they are a healthy food choice as they are full of lycopene, beta-carotene, B-complex, iron, Potassium, and Vitamin C.

Try the recipe below for step away from the typical recipes for using up what your garden refuses to quit producing!
