    Anybody upstate NY area: 2009 Buffalo-Niagara Tomato TasteFest SATURDAY 9/5!

    pre-smoke ABT's

    you may be right, this was my first time making them (plus a test run) and can only judge my own, which were left in the smoker a long time to start with. Plus the bacon was pulled pretty tightly and assume it helped in the crispiness. I actually made about 10 the night before to see how the...

    pre-smoke ABT's

    Yodel, party has come & gone, you just make them the same day? I co-organize a tomato tastefest party, not quite public but about 30-40 people. I made mine Friday night for Saturday's party. I smoked them w/pecan & a sprinkling of apple at about 245-250 for 3+ hours until the bacon was well...

    Foie Gras ABTs anyone?

    I had to look it up myself. I will stick to cream cheese or the Mexican Fiesta blend from Walmart, thank you!

    Foie Gras ABTs anyone?

    Foie gras (pronounced /fwɑːˈɡrɑː/ in English; French for "fat liver") is a food product made of the liver of a duck or goose that has been specially fattened. This fattening is typically achieved through gavage (force-feeding) corn, according to French law,[1] though outside of France it is...

    Abt's - Poppers - Hell I don't Know What I Am Making W/Qview

    I used 3 varieties of jalapenos (Purple, Jaloro (yellow), and Chichimeca) and none of mine tasted hot, so I conclude it was the methods or the time that made them mild. It also will make a big difference if you do or do not remove the ribs/veins that hold the seeds. I try to remove them--I was...

    I want to make ann ABT Holder

    I went to our 3rd annual tomato tastefest today, I brought about 40 ABT's and super-smoked (overnight) Dutch's Wicked Beans. The ABT's I made I did them by splitting them longways, added cream cheese, a pepperoni type meat tidbit from Aldi that was like a 1" long Slim Jim but meatier & not as...

    Can I keep Wicked Beans overnight in the smoker?

    Thanks Ron! I added about a half cup of water so it doesn't dry out, plus covered it with foil & set the MES to 155 to cover any temp drops, hope that's ok.

    Can I keep Wicked Beans overnight in the smoker?

    I love these & have a batch done, but don't need them until noon/afternoon... can I keep these on "low" til then? It's a digital electric, what temp would be a good setting to keep at without health issues or drying out? Are there any health issues? Is this possible? It's the only thing left...

    Lost my tomatoes to TMV

    Let's hope that she just made a simple mistake and got it backwards--the disease has a chance of making the pH higher I'd guess, because for canning it's imperative that things are low pH, that's why you often add lemon juice or vinegar or citric acid. I personally don't know if it will change...

    Lost my tomatoes to TMV

    Somebody from NY e-mailed me a price list this summer for 3 varieties: German White, Spanish Roja, and another one. I think minimum order was 3lbs. I will see if I can find it. The prices weren't bad. The 3 largest varieties I found listed anywhere were Estonian Red, Krasnodar Red and Ron's...

    Lost my tomatoes to TMV

    You're welcome. While the original outbreak is believed to be the Bonny plants from the big box stores, it shows how dangerous Late Blight can be. If you originally bought Bonny plants, they may have been dead much sooner in the season; if they weren't Bonny plants from the nursery, and you...

    I bought a pollinating wand a few years ago... Brandywine is a pretty fickle tomato, the blossom shape often prohibits complete pollination, but using the wand, I had clusters setting 4 to 5 big fruits! I still have the wand, just haven't used it much since then, of course I haven't grown...

    Lost my tomatoes to TMV

    I would have to check if it has an alias name; I grow German Extra Hardy every other year, I think that's different. I also grew Polish Hardneck. Last fall I planted a lot of Asiatic/Turban types (Creole Red, Burgundy, Labera Purple, Cuban Purple, Wonha, etc.) While I'll be at our Tomato...
