It was amazing! I also pickled some in a standard vinegar/sugar/water brine. I don't have either of the recipes in front of me, but I found them by googling. I did also allow some of mine to ripen on the counter. They don't have as good of flavor as vine-ripened, but still better than store-bought ones in December. I ate my last group on Christmas last year! Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948849539400642357.post-27615485465204141012012-09-26T08:35:36.431-05:002012-09-26T08:35:36.431-05:00looks like it's too late for you this year, bu...looks like it's too late for you this year, but in future years, here's a tip. pull the whole plant, leaving the tomatoes on the vine... they will continue to ripen. the vines still have some energy left in them which they'll transfer to the tomatoes. i did this one year with "long-keeper" variety and had fresh tomatoes into december! store the vines/tomatoes out of direct sunlight.<br /><br />p.s. this captcha is hard to pass... can you get an easier one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
