Speaking of Tomatoes Being Pollinated

Fruit abounds on the tomato plants. The stupice are ripening now and I can harvest two or three a day. They are roughly the size of a golf ball so it takes a few days to have enough for a salad. Flavor, however, has been outstanding. I made a variant on a caprese salad earlier this week that came out very well.

  • 8-10 stupice tomatoes, or similarly sweet, red variety, sliced.
  • about a cup of basil leaves, roughly julienned 
  • 8oz of mozzarella -- I used small balls I cut in half so it didn't all fall apart
  • a generous coating of olive oil
  • half as much balsamic vinegar
  • S&P
This will make about three cereal-bowl servings. Eat it immediately -- I took the leftovers to work and it wasn't very good.
