Nothing to see here, just a 800g tomato!   This is the biggest one I've grown (I normally don't bother with beefsteak ones) and just half of it filled our sandwiches for lunch!   Tasted amazing as well.  What's the biggest you ever grew? 

 I was picking tomatoes with my eldest the other day. We picked a huge basket full and I was wondering what we were going to do with them. She suggested that we dry them and then wouldn't take no as an answer.  So we got the dehydrator out and got chopping. The little yellow millefleur cherry tomatoes are cropping in abundance so we chopped each one in half to help them to dry out.  Five full trays of tomatoes resulted in just two jars of dried ones!  We're looking forward to using these. Either to cook with (rehydrated in water) or maybe to rehydrate in oil to go on bread or even to blitz into powder and then make into a tomato paste/puree.  Do you dry tomatoes to preserve them? How do you use yours?
