How to Satisfy Summer Time Fresh Tomato Cravings Today
By Steve Melton
Disappointment reigns heavily when it comes to out of
season tomatoes. Yes, summer is over as the harsh freezing
cold temperatures blanket the entire North American
continent and we are missing, craving more than likely,
the incredible taste of vine ripe tomatoes straight from
the garden. Perfectly picked at their peek of freshness
and aromatic fragrance.
Sure you try the produce market at you local grocery
looking for bright red tomatoes that give a little to the
touch but don't feel mushy. Your journey is unsuccessful
instead you settle for the less than perfect specimen,
pale and still a little green in color. Your hope is it
will ripen at room temperature on the kitchen counter and
be ready to use in a couple of days. Disappointment
follows it has no taste whatsoever.
Cravings are persistent and lead to more intense desires
for the fresh taste of summer time tomatoes.
Ouch, did you hear the weather report? Several more days of
below freezing temperatures are ahead with no end in sight.
Capt'n Salsa has a simple and acceptable solution for you.
Considering the snow covered garden out the back window
and your cravings are growing more intense each day it is
time to reach for the "canned tomatoes".
Hey hear me out just a minute, okay?
Canned tomatoes, yes whole canned tomatoes are the closest
tasting to fresh tomatoes you can find. Look for whole
tomatoes packed in juice not the sauce or the puree for
the best taste. The whole canned tomatoes can easily be
chopped or even added whole during cooking to most of your
favorite recipes. Actually, go ahead and use the diced
canned tomatoes again grabbing the ones packed in juice.
Diced tomatoes are coarsely chopped during the canning
process saving you a lot of time and of course the messy
cleanup of chopping canned whole tomatoes. Add them right
out of the can to your favorite sauces, soups and pasta
dishes, using them just as you would your fresh garden
tomatoes.
Homemade tomato salsa?
Sure, just remember to drain the juice first reserving it
for a special "Bloody Mary" later.
