I need a recipe using plum tomatoes. Do you know any?
Either slice in half lonways and put on oven rack in baking pan, drizzle oil over and either oregano or rosemary and cook slow 160, heat for about an hr, you will then lift tray out and let dry on rack, you can then bottle with good oil, to cover, then can use for salads in salsa etc, or in sandwiches etc

Or , scoop pulp out and then fill with cooked rice, chopped capsicum, bacon and onion a little garlic ,bake and 5 mins before serving put slice of cheese or grated 2 cheeses, mozzerrella and parmesan.

Or top with layer of bread crumbs topped with a nob of butter and parmesan cheese and black pepper.

Bon apetite

Reply:Marinated Tomatoes Stuffed with a Shrimp Salad



8 large Creole or Beefsteak tomatoes, cored

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons honey

1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 tablespoon liquid crab boil

2 lemons, halved

2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 ear of sweet corn, blanched and kernels removed

1/2 cup small diced tomatoes

1/2 cup small diced Vidalia onions

1/4 cup black olives, pitted and halved

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chervil leaves

8 sprigs of fresh chervil



Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Using a sharp knife, make a small X on the bottom of each whole tomato. Place the tomatoes in the boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove and place in a bowl of ice water. Cool the tomatoes completely. Remove from the water and peel the skin off each tomato. Quarter each tomato 3/4 of the way to the bottom. Remove the seeds. Place the tomatoes in a large glass pan. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. In a small mixing bowl whisk together the oil, mustard and honey. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the marinade over each tomato. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and pour off the marinade into a medium size bowl. In a saucepan, add the crab boil and lemons. Bring the mixture to a boil. Add the shrimp. Cover and remove from the heat. Allow the shrimp to sit in the water for 8 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and tails curl completely. Remove from the water and cool completely. Add the shrimp, corn, diced tomatoes, onions, olives, chervil and garlic to the bowl of marinade. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Place the tomato in the center of each serving plate. Spoon the shrimp salad in the center of each tomato. Garnish with sprigs of fresh chervil.
Reply:Why not dry them?

Pomedori are great when dried.

Reply:Yes, I make my pizzas with big red juicy plum tomatoes. You need to squash five or six of them to a pulp and spread around the dough base before putting the mozzerella on top. Ciao.

TOMATO EQUIVALENTS



2 1/2 pounds fresh tomatoes equals 3 cups chopped and drained fresh tomatoes.



1 (16-oz) can equals 2 cups drained tomatoes or 1 cup undrained tomatoes.



1 (28-oz) can equals 3 cups undrained or 2 to 2 1/2 cups drained tomatoes.



1 (35-oz) can equals 3 cups undrained or 2 to 2 1/2 cups drained tomatoes.



25 to 30 cherry tomatoes equals 2 cups chopped tomatoes.



1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste equals 3/4 cup.



An average bushel of tomatoes weighs about 53 lb (25 kg). When quartered and canned, this quantity of tomatoes will yield 15 to 20 – 1 large jar. You’ll need 2 ? to 3 lb (1.2 to 1.4 kg) fresh tomatoes per 1 large mason jar.
