Tomato season
Denise: As this growing season got, well, growing, we decided we’d no longer sell any of our garden produce. Instead, we’d learn to make full use of it ourselves. All of it! Everything! So now that it’s well and truly tomato season, here’s one of the many things we do with two large greenhouses full of ripening tomatoes, along with our own grown onion, rosemary and … well that would be giving away our secrets! Passata!
Every now and then we buy a commercial bottle of sauce to (a) remind ourselves how cheap and sugary they are, and (b) – more importantly – to expand our stock of sauce bottles!
Thank you for sharing your yummy sauce.
Well at least we share the idea – the inspiration. We’ve stopped selling our produce fresh (we still sell it in the form of preserves of various kinds) for a number of reasons, but primarily because we were finding that our stores were running out and we’d end up buying food at the supermarket, at higher cost and lower quality than that we’d sold. That’s not what we came here to do! This blog is not primarily about selling our produce: it is a personal blog sharing our experiences and interests, and perhaps to inspire others to break the mould of conventional life and ‘do their own thing’.
