What do I have here?!

Junebug, what kind of "strainer" do you use? does it seperate seeds and peel?

 

[junebug]

Ang, I use a Victorio strainer. I love it. It removes the seeds and peel. I cut the tomatoes into

maybe two-inch chunks and feed through the hopper. The seeds and peel come out the end, and the pulp comes down the chute. I usually put the seeds and peel back through to extract all the pulp.

I also have the "berry screen" which is great for removing raspberry and blackberry seeds for seedless jam.

Thank you. I am ordering this with the berry screen to de-seed the raspberries for jam.

Thanks, Junie! These have little pulp, too, and way too much skin to fish out of the pot! ;o)

That's a shame, Dawn! Next year try the super marzanos. They're wonderful. If you want a sweet

cherry tomato, try Sungolds.

yep, it's a type of cucumber - same texture but a little less cucumbery to me.

 

[wildwoods]

though the ones i ate were quite pale, maybe under-ripe therefore more bland.

In fact, I'm pullin' up today, so the others will get more sun (

Thanks - do the super marzanos only available as a heirloom?

That is a lemon cucumber. I used to grow them and just bought some at the Farmer's Mkt.
