Tomatoes in abundance!

In the past couple of years the tomato harvests in the garden and green house have been pretty poor or non-existent. Insufficient warmth and sunshine, and too much rain leading to the dreaded tomato blight, meant that we had almost given up on tomatoes all together. But I don't give up readily and planted again this year. And lo and behold, we actually did see the sun this year, and gained rather a good crop.

Such sweet and succulent tomatoes that are full of flavour are rarely seen in shop bought toms, and they smell delicious too. Those that didn't ripen on the vine, have been brought in and are doing well on the window sill.

So what to do with all these lovely gems. Well, Steve made Green tomato chutney and here's Friday's dinner that I made from a recipe in Bill's Cook, Eat, Smile: Roasted tomato and orange soup with a crusty rye bread...scrummy...

Hmmm, now let's see what else can be had in that garden of ours...?

Have a good week!
