I went out on a limb last winter and purchased some seeds from burpee for these tomatoes.....All I can say is that these things are amazing!
See for yourself....
I have been using regular romas for my salsa and pasta sauce and got tired of peeling tons of tomatoes just for one batch. Well this solved the problem. 7 tomatoes are all it took to get the 6 pounds that I needed for 1 batch. This one isn't the largest one on the vine but it is the largest ripe one so far.....One Roma tomato that weighs in at 1.5 lbs!
When peeled they are very impressive too.....
I was patient and allowed them to ripen on the vine despite the hot weather. The reward is the best tasting sauces that I have ever made. I'm not big on just eating tomatoes alone but I do like them mixed in salads and as ingredients in other dishes so I can't say how good they taste on their own...but my mother ate one and raved about how delicious it was.
They are coming in like crazy and I'm sure I'll be busy for the next few weeks.....
