I have lived on the island for nine years and have finally found success in growing tomatoes! All the sun and the heat we've had this summer has been a plus. I fixed a recipe similiar to this for dinner tonight. It was delicious! I also canned homemade spagehetti sauce. Can't wait to make Fried Green Tomatoes!
I'm going to try your tomato sauce tonight. Thanks for the recipe!
