Hi Everyone,

20150808vine tomatoes onlineAt this time of the year, all around the markets, you can see trays, boxes, and baskets brimming with red, shiny, beautiful tomatoes. With such abundance, at such reasonable pricing, one cannot help buying multiple pounds of this fruit-vegetable. However, there is only so much of it that we can eat at one time, and for most Caribbean people, our preferred way to eat tomatoes is sliced, served with a salad.

Today, I want to share with you other ways in which you can use tomatoes and how to preserve them for later use when they are not in season.
