One kind is tiny and sweet and I eat them like cherries - they spoil me for other tomatoes, really. But beautiful big heirlooms like these ~ as well as your fine serving suggestions, Petrea, I'd be happy to have them sliced and layered with some bocconcini and basil, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and a titch of coarse sea salt. Just a titch.Shell Sherreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477843748741838608noreply@blogger.com
