Looking For A 2 Inch Stuffer Tomato added 4" elongated

I'm Looking For A 2 Inch Stuffer Tomato.
Does any one know of any and their names?

[Suze]

What do you plan to use them for? Will they be cooked/baked?

I've halved Kimberly and Jaune Flammee, scooped out some of the innards with a teaspoon, and used them to make hors d'oeuvres. I'm not so sure how they would hold up to baking, though.

Suze
I would be interested in both.

1 D'oeuvres - slice off the tops stuff with cottage cheese and top with a black olive OR slice off the top and pour with mellted cheader cheese and top with a black olive.

2 - Baking

I got some information about a Red Cup - a 2" Red Stuffer.
I did a google on it for seeds and I am not finding anything.
Anyone know about this tomato? Who sells the seeds?

[Suze]

Red Cup is larger than you want, I think, but Tomato Growers Supply carries it. Look under midseason.

Thanks Suze

SSE member Charles Case is big into stuffer types he writes in the yearbook:2005 (closest one to me)
Among the finest for baking are Liberty Bell and Schimmeig Striped Hollow. For fresh stuffers Cup of Moldova and Livingston globe. For all purpose Novogogoshary and Big Month.

IMISSCOLO thanks for the info
Does he mentions which ones would be bite size?

[Rena]

I believe those are all big. I am guessing any large cherry would do -just scoop out and invert on towel.

[GrowSeeds]

I'm beging to think they don't come in bite size. And going to a large cherry type would work.

I've been thinking if they could be lightly baked bake some fish first with lemon and fish pepper and garlic place some of that into the sliced off top stuffer (large cherry tomato) and then lightly bake with new lemon - garlic and fish pepper.

I can't help you this year, but one of the crossed seeds we got from Tomato Bob resulted in about a 2-6oz semi-hollow, bi-colored, wonderfully flavored tomato, with a sturdy wall. Should hold up to stuffing fairly well, but I have to finish it first. It was supposed to be a Livingston Gold Ball. We got cherries that were just like little water balloons of juice, the bi-color, and some fairly bland yellow globes. I saved seed from the bi-color, and will try to finish stabilizing it soon (two growing seasons helps). I think they'd be more of a two-biter(unless you have a fairly large mouth), but that's about as small as I can think of. Keep in touch, and I'll get seed to you as soon as there's stable seed to be had(unfortunately, i think it'll be about two years).

I would second Suze's info, Kimberly, and I'll add Stupice. Both are similar in size for me and sounds about the right size for what you are looking for. About golf-ball sized and bigger than a cherry.

Thanks laurel-tx

Thanks gardengalrn


I was wondering what you think about the different cherry types for using as stuffers.
Would you consider them like wine that is
Snow White Cherry tomato for fish
Bi-colors for poultry and pork
Red and black/purples for beef and cheeses - olives etc

Which cherry type tomatoes do you think would taste good for stuffing and stuffing / light baking?

I have developed many hollow (Stuffers) over the years. None have been released in the 2 inch size yet.

One that comes to mind in my collection of stuffers is a line that has one to two inch diameter size fruits.
The original hybrid was between Green Bell Tomato and Norelco , the later of which carries frost resistance and non ripening genes. The resulting segregants are many. One in particular is green when ripe, 2 locules, hollow, non ripening and a cute bell pepper shape. It was hard to get the walls of the fruit thin enough to enhance the hollowness. The resulting OP would not be of much interest to anyone but is valuable in making long keeping hybrids, say back to Green Bell Pepper. The hybrid is close to the 2 inch stuffer you may be looking for.

Novogogoshary meets your demand for the fruit size for sure! Or you can use Anna Herman which has semi-hollow fruits, but excellent productivity :wink:

My other Russian stuffers like Gogoshary Polosatyi and Farshirovochnyi have bigger size fruits.
