Challenge: want 'fresh' tomato recipes

zeroma · January 28, 2013

I'd love to add a recipe to my tomato data base that is for a specific variety of tomato. Using fresh harvest tomatoes, not canned. I noticed many of the recipes in this section use canned tomatoes.

Example for the new Eleanor tomato I bought I printed a recipe called Eleanor's Tomato Soup. The Eleanor tomato is supposed to be great for making juice, and the soup recipe calls for 2 cups tomato juice. The campbell 146 tomato would be great for this as well, but I'll have to come up with a different soup recipe for that one.

I ordered the seed for the Patriotic Themed idea, for the garden where I volunteer. Eleanor is for Eleanor Roosevelt in my garden. Plus my mother's name was Eleanor, and she made awesome tomato soup for us when we were little kids. I found the recipe when I was looking for more information on the tomato!

Okay,
The 'Evergreen' (Emerald) is supposed to be so great for making fried green tomatoes. As is Aunt Ruby's German Green.

So I'd love to know what to make with the 'desserty' tasting tomatoes like
Big White Pink Stripes or Dagma's Perfection.

Or the tart, tangy varieties like Aunt Lou's Underground Railroad and Captain Lucky?

You get the idea. I'd just love to put my little tomato data book together with recipes.
