Tomato overkill...

I have my work cut out for me this evening. Between the three 5 gallon buckets now resting on my kitchen table I have around 100 tomatoes. The bucket on the left was full when I carried it up from my garden at work-ful, until I handed out about half of the ripe fruit. The bucket on the right is full- that was what my home garden had produced since Sunday.

The center bucket? Its about 1/2 full of just one variety of tomato- Brandywine. I kept these separate because the are very tender and split easily. But their flavor? Unbelievable- very rich, sweet (but not too sweet), and complex.

One more reason why I kept them separate is the sheer volume of tomatoes I have to process. The other tomatoes will end up as canned juice (probably around 10 quarts worth)

The Brandywines? I'm leaning towards tomato jam for them.

Tomato jam?

Trust me- using this tomato variety, it works....
