Tomatoes!

One of our "airport bums" (people who hang around at the airport for entertainment) left some tomato plants for the staff early this spring.

He said they were called "Ox Heart". They really do look like a big heart! They also took a long time to ripen compared to the hybrids.



I've been dehydrating loads of tomatoes to preserve some of the bountiful crop. Just slice up and lay on the dehydrator trays....


....and about 8 hrs later - paper thin and almost weightless....so sweet and flavorful, I can crunch them like candy!!
