Gerry picked about 7 big tomatoes from the garden last night, but what with the heat and no rain now cold they were not the greatest looking toms, also there was a couple of Brandy Wine toms in with them,.
As we are having sausages and chips (french fries) for dinner tonight I thought the toms would go with it.. so I skinned them, cut off the splits and then removed the seeds, cut up the flesh added shake sea salt and put them in microwave a couple minutes..... I then just plopped them into a sieve and this is the flesh I will have with the sausage and this is supper tomato juice we Will have as a drink later when it is cold..... I didn't squeeze the flesh.
Or I will put the juice in tomato bread tomorrow along with the water. qahtan

Looks good qahtan! You'd have seen almost the same scene in my kitchen today, I was doing gallons of tomato puree - had a really good crop of plum tomatoes this year.
