The American Four Square Tomato Farm

We spent a great deal of time processing veggies this weekend. The tomatoes are coming pretty fast & furious now….we are just trying to keep up.

We haven’t seen the big 3 or 4 pounder yet, but we have gotten some big. freakin’. tomatoes.

A one pound seven ounce Ele (or Elie or Ely). It’s a beautiful yellow orange tomato. Few seeds and a nice semi-sweet flavor.

The big Purple Cherokee. One pound five. I like the smaller ones better, it seems to me they have a richer flavor.

Making tomato puree. Psychedelic!!!

Dennis smoked a pork shoulder and a kielbasa which turned out just delicious.

After the pork came out of the smoker, we sliced some of our eggplant and then vacuum packed them and popped them in the freezer.

Oh, I also made spiced blueberry jam.

I think I might have slept at some point too……….

    Mmm, that puree looks delicious! You’re lucky to have such a nice crop of tomatoes. Due to some bad weather, mine didn’t produce as many as I liked but I didn’t get to enjoy some cherry tomatoes and friend green tomatoes haha
