Heirloom Tomato Salsa

OMG!  I made this DELICIOUS salsa last year as an experiment.  It was  SO TASTY!!!  I just came across this photo yesterday.  I forgot I took it.  I actually canned salsa last year.  I made two kinds - the chunky one you see in this pic, and also a roasted and blended one.  Both included onion, cilantro, jalapeno and habanero peppers.  Jalapeno for taste, habanero for heat. 

I will be selling the canned salsa later this year in my Etsy shop.  Yay!!!

Costoluto Genovese

This is the absolutely STUNNING Costoluto Genovese heirloom tomato.  It tastes just as good as it looks.  Very meaty with few seeds.

Last year was my year first growing Indigo Apple.  I purchased what I thought were Blue Berry Blend seeds from Baker Creek.  Imagine my surprise when the tomatoes started getting as big as this!  (BBB is a cherry tomato, LOL!)

Indigo Apple is a very meaty and flavorful tomato.  It was a Lovely surprise!!  Will be a permanent part of my ever growing tomato garden!!
