These
Japanese Black Trifele tomatoes have been a real success. Orignially seed sent to me by Dan in his
Urban Veggie Garden as part of my Buddy Morris veggie garden this year.
Really abundant and the plants are laden with tomatoes. So many ripened all at once that I just had to make a batch of tomato sauce yesterday, though there were plenty for eating as well.
Also just drying at the moment are my
Croatian Black Beans. A lovely climbing bean which was also sent to me by Kath at
Veg Heaven as part of my 'black' veggie garden this year. Really beautiful seeds and a good, vigorous climber too.
And it is that time of the year when I will soon be making my own pumpkin pie. My own
pumpkin pie spice mix is easy to make if you have a coffee grinder. The main ingredents are cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg. I also add a bit of clove, cardamom and mace too. The nutmegs will have to be grated by hand, but all the rest of the spice ingredients can be ground to a powder and then sieved.

Ah there he is sweet Leo....Matron would it be possible for you to post or send me an email with your recipe for tomato sauce. I too have lots of tomatoes at the moment Don't worry if your too busy though.

ReplyDeleteYou're making me hungry with this talk of pumpkin pie :-) I can almost smell those spices! Love 'n' hugs, Mel xx
ReplyDeleteI tried that variety at the tomato fest and it was very good..in my top five! Your trug looks lovely, as does the handsome blonde.
ReplyDeleteHow great to see the spices for pumpkin pie on a platter. Many folks aren't familiar with mace which I have always found quite beautiful.
