They also have excellent flavor. Not quite the same as vine ripened, of course, but still much richer than store bought. These taste like real tomatoes. A few of them didn't keep, but most of the ones I have pulled out so far were perfect. We enjoyed them sliced with salt, and I made a salad of them.
I had great fun playing "Guess what's under the bed?" with visitors over the holiday. Heh. There are still many more wrapped up under the bed, so I will post again in another month or so to see how they are doing as we get farther into the winter.
I 'd like to suggest using something else besides newspapers to wrap a food product. Reason? I've read many times that the newspapers can cause cancer...(yea, I know. "what doesn't") I really like your web page, hope to come back.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-) That is a good point - some people want to be more careful. Tissue paper would work nicely too. Anything lightweight and slightly absorbant. And there are food-grade tissues available in bulk at Sam's or other stores that carry restaurant supplies. Thanks for stopping in. Have a lovely week! :-)
