Default Today's post-growing-season tomato harvest ;)

So, all our tomato plants have been dead for a long time, now. We had our first frost in September some time. We had a lot of plants in the garden (so, I'm still cleaning it up). Anyway, we've had lots of hard freezes (in the early 20's Fahrenheit and warmer). The plants are drying up. The remaining fruits have pretty much been destroyed by numerous freezes and/or rotting, but my Galapagos Island (said to be S. cheesmaniae) tomato plant had several fruits that still look and feel good enough to eat! They don't seem like tomatoes that have been frozen. Anyway, I plan to save the seeds and see if they grow. If they do grow, maybe I'll do it every year and see if the plants and/or their fruits develop more freeze-tolerance.

Does this interest anyone out here?

Don't worry—I'm not actually planning to eat these! I'm just planning to save the seeds and to try to grow some.

Here's a picture of the fruits:
